Melbourne Rebels Receive Support from Rugby Australia Amid Financial Struggles

Rugby Australia is collaborating with the financially troubled Melbourne Rebels to ensure their participation in the upcoming Super Rugby Pacific competition. Although the Rebels have entered voluntary administration due to debt issues, Rugby Australia is committed to supporting their involvement in the 2024 Super Rugby season. The organization aims to establish a sustainable and commercially successful rugby presence in Melbourne.

The Victorian government will also be engaged in discussions regarding the future of the club. Despite the financial challenges, the Rebels’ participation in the Super Round at AAMI Park in Melbourne remains unaffected. Rugby Australia emphasizes its dedication to maintaining professional rugby in Victoria and pledges to work closely with relevant stakeholders to achieve this goal.
