What is water rugby?

40 x 35m floating barge as a pitch, no touch, no target: you literally have to dive to score! This is the concept of WateRugby! In total, there are more than 650 players who will walk on the grass and pee their shirts throughout the event. Company Tournaments, Amateur Tournaments, Kids Initiatives: WateRugby targets all audiences, from the youngest to the oldest.

Animation all weekend

On Saturday and Sunday brunch, Thomas Fantini will be at the helm of the traditional “Mêlée des Chefs”, in the company of local restaurants and international players. During this fun and friendly cooking workshop, he will awaken the taste buds of the audience thanks to the development of an original and delicious dish based on local products.

In the afternoon, Ducky the Mascot will come, very comfortably, to meet the audience for a photo shoot and a signature session full of smiles and good humor. The cheerleading competition will also be held on Thursday.

After the games, the party continues! On Thursdays and Fridays, local DJs will come to move the village. On Saturday evening, the audience will be invited to dance in a “calm” atmosphere to the tunes of the La Cana Brava group. On Sunday evening, young and old will be able to follow and cheer on their favorite team during the rebroadcast of the top 14 match between Stade Toulouse and Rugby Club de Toulon on the giant screen in the village.
