MILANO – Il grande rugby italiano riparte da Milano. Nella sede Rai del capoluogo lombardo \u00e8 stata presentata la stagione 2026\/2027 della Serie A \u00c9lite Maschile, il massimo campionato nazionale di rugby che prender\u00e0 il via Saturday, October 17th<\/span>.<\/p>\n

The press conference, conducted jointly for the first time by the Italian Rugby Federation and the Italian Rugby League, outlined the main innovations for a season that aims to further strengthen the visibility, recognition, and engagement of the top domestic tournament. A key aspect of the new season will once again be television and digital coverage. Rai confirms its commitment to the top Italian league, with one match per matchday broadcast live on RaiSport. The Scudetto Final will also be broadcast live on Rai 2 in prime time.,<\/p>\n

\u00ab"The Men's Elite Series awards our Federation's oldest and most prestigious national titles," said FIR Vice President Antonella Gualandri. "We are thrilled to celebrate this new season together with the Italian Rugby League, Rai, and the clubs in our top division. The role of the Men's Elite Series and the relaunch plan that, together with the League, we immediately identified as one of the priorities of our four-year mandate are very clear and find strong narrative coherence in the Rai headquarters in Milan: this tournament must represent one of the flagship assets of the FIR's sports and entertainment offerings. I thank Rai, The Rugby Channel, the City of Milan, and the Lombardy Region for their support and support in promoting this seasonal launch, the first step on the road to our ninety-seventh championship. On behalf of the Federal Council, I wish the League, its new president Coppo, the Captains, and all the Clubs the very best of luck for an unforgettable season of great rugby.".<\/p>\n

\u00ab"We're building on what we've built to date and on a legacy we don't want to lose," stated Lega Italiana Rugby President Fabio Coppo. "The League has progressively taken on greater responsibilities, and the next step must be to further strengthen the collaborative efforts among the Clubs. Our goal is to grow the Serie A Elite product as a whole: technical quality, organization, communication, spectators, ability to attract partners, and the valorization of professionalism. No club can truly grow alone: the growth of individuals necessarily depends on the growth of the entire league. We must continually strive to better communicate our players, Clubs, cities, and the stories this tournament embodies, as well as the values that have always defined rugby and represent one of the strongest elements of its identity, bringing all of this to an ever-wider audience.".<\/p>\n

\u00ab"We are delighted that our city has been chosen to launch the new Serie A Elite season," said Martina Riva, Councilor for Sport and Youth Policies for the City of Milan. "The championship's growing visibility is good news for the entire rugby movement, as it will bring new fans, especially among the younger generations, to this sport whose founding values are respect and teamwork. As an Administration, we want to support this growth by creating opportunities to play rugby in neighborhoods as well, as evidenced by the recent assignment of the Via Padova pitch to CUS Milano. A sporting city is a city capable of promoting major events, but it must also be able to make sport increasingly accessible to everyone in their daily lives, especially the citizens of tomorrow.".<\/p>\n

\u201cAnche nel caso del rugby il grande sport passa dal capoluogo lombardo per presentarsi, in questo caso a farlo \u00e8 il Campionato di Serie A \u00c9lite Maschile 2026\/2027. Un appuntamento che conferma la qualit\u00e0 del movimento in Regione Lombardia che, insieme al Veneto, \u00e8 una delle due Regioni con il maggior numero di tesserati \u2013 afferma Federica Picchi, Sottosegretario allo Sport e Giovani di Regione Lombardia-. Milano \u00e8 inoltre sede di uno dei centri di formazione permanente Under 18 della FIR, dove studiano e si formano le migliori promesse del rugby italiano. Ma la Lombardia crede nel rugby non solo come disciplina agonistica ma anche come strumento di crescita, inclusione e formazione dei giovani. Per questo, insieme alla FIR, abbiamo sostenuto il progetto \u2018IN META! \u2013 Rugby, Giovani e Territorio\u2019, rivolto ai ragazzi tra i 15 e i 34 anni, in particolare nelle aree urbane pi\u00f9 fragili, e che abbiamo portato anche nel carcere Beccaria di Milano\u201c.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
