EVRA European Series
WELCOME TO THE ASSOCIATION OF EUROPEAN RUGBY VETERANS IN 2024
​
Dear Members, Rugby friends,
​
COVID-19 left more “consequences” as expected…. 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 development of Veteran sports in their countries and Europe… ?
The “result” is our Events Calendar 2024 for those “brave” still believing in Fun & Friendship & Fraternity, motto of Golden Oldies Rugby worldwide.
We 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.
For the “Newcomers” information that European Veteran Rugby Association has been founded on October 26th 2010 as the non – profit sports organisation in Heidelberg (Germany) with the aim to develop 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.
