Europe’s best rugby teams will gather in Madrid for the Rugby Europe Championship Finals in just a few days: one day, two events, one team that will win first place in the European table and another that will lose its place among the best. You can still get your tickets here:
March 15 will be a great day for rugby lovers, with matches that promise to be epic in two iconic venues in Madrid. The first will be at the Complutense University National Stadium, where the 7th and 5th places in the competition will be decided and it will be determined who loses their place in the top division. The second will be at the Ontime Butarque Stadium in Leganés, where we will find out who takes the top spot on the podium .
Tickets to cheer on our “lions” are now on sale starting at €10 (with discounts for the little ones). You can also participate in this raffle: a pair of tickets to the final in Butarque and a meet and greet with the Spanish Rugby Federation with a guest:

A Sunday for and dedicated to rugby: who will take the European podium?
Spending Sunday relaxing is an absolute pleasure, and on March 15 in Madrid, rugby will take center stage. On that day, the eight best teams in the tournament will come together: Belgium, Georgia, Germany, the Netherlands, Portugal, Romania, Switzerland, and, of course, Spain.
The day will kick off in the morning at the Complutense University National Stadium (“el Central”), with the matches for 7th and 5th place (at 11:00 a.m. and 1:30 p.m., respectively). In the afternoon, the Ontime Butarque Stadium in Leganés will host the battle for third and fourth place and the highly contested grand final (at 4:00 p.m. and 6:45 p.m.). As a side note, this stadium is also home to CD Leganés and the venue for international rugby after signing a three-year agreement with the Royal Spanish Rugby Federation.
Spain was runner-up in the last edition and is in Group A, which also includes Georgia, the current champion. In addition to the excitement and competition, Leganés will host a Fan Zone with food and drinks, activities for all ages, live music, and a festive atmosphere for the whole family.
