WELCOME TO THE ASSOCIATION OF EUROPEAN RUGBY VETERANS IN 2025
Dear Members, Rugby friends,
​
COVID-19 Pandemic is after us, but the situation in Veteran rugby has not changed to better generally.…. This “fact can be seen” in the decreasing number of veteran clubs – teams ready to organize veteran events as well as those willing to join EVRA supporting the development of Veteran sports in their countries and Europe.
In front of you is our Events Calendar 2025 for those still active members (most of them from the very beginning of EVRA) These members strongly believe in Fun & Friendship & Fraternity, motto of Golden Oldies Rugby worldwide.
We from EVRA Executive Board believe too that the Rugby spirit will show its strength when it is asked at most…….
Be welcome to join us anytime – anywhere at one EUROPEAN SERIES events and at European Festival 2025.
​
​
For the “Newcomers” information that European Veteran Rugby Association has been founded on October 26th 2010 as the non – profit sports organisation with seat in Heidelberg (Germany.)
Our aim is to develop/promote European Veteran Rugby in Europe, especially in so called small rugby nations.
38 veteran clubs/teams and rugby personalities from 14 countries in Europe had established this organisation on amateur principles with the intention to develop European Veteran Rugby organising, together with the club members,
yearly Mini Festivals / Tournaments under the name EVRA EUROPEAN VETERAN RUGBY SERIES, as well as the biannually EUROPEAN FESTIVAL with the participation of veteran clubs and teams from the European rugby playing
countries.
2025 is the next year of EVRA European festivals – in September we shall be able to welcome our members teams in the first quarter of the coming New Year.
.
Yours in Rugby
Marko Protega, Secretary Executive Board
Co-ordinator European Veteran Rugby Series
