France Pull Out Of Hosting The 2025 World Cup : Mon May 15, 2023 2:57 pm  

France Pull Out Of Hosting The 2025 World Cup
If you were busy making plans to take in the rugby league World Cup jamboree across the channel in 2025, you´d better put away those guidebooks and log-off the hotel booking sites, as it has officially been announced that France will no longer be the hosts, plunging the next tournament into a pit of doubt.

In a press release issued today by France2025, it was announced that with regret, the organising committee have been unable to secure the backing necessary to guarantee the tournament and that they have therefore had to withdraw from the offer to host the tournament.

Planning for the 2025 Tournament s now in disarray.

This is just so LOL. NRL will be happy they are not fans of their players playing outside of NRL.

In any sane world, securing the necessary financial backing BEFORE announcing that you were hosting the tournament would have been the obvious thing to do. This, however, is RL, in whose waters the good ship Common Sense rarely sails.

A very big opportunity of promoting the game in the less traditional RL areas of France has been missed.

This has potentially serious implications for the game as a whole.
It makes it much harder to sell TV rights for SL if the international game is in turmoil - again.
