Groupe Apicil has become the first French partner of European Professional Club Rugby (EPCR), the organizer of competitions such as the Investec Champions Cup and the EPCR Challenge Cup.
Having helped complete Groupe APICIL’s partnership deal with the French Rugby Federation (FFR) a few months ago, Nineteen Sports Group is delighted to have brokered this unique collaboration between the company and EPCR.
Groupe APICIL will partner EPCR’s two European club competitions from the last-16 stage in 2025. The partnership will run until the end of the 2027/28 season.
Founded on a shared vision of excellence, innovation and a positive impact on people, the deal reflects Groupe APICIL’s desire to support sport and well-being, which are key areas for rugby and the EPCR in particular through its sustainable development strategy, impACT.
