Breaking News: Monzón Becomes Alternative Rugby Capital with Ninth Fat Rugby Edition
Monzón has solidified its status as the alternative rugby capital with the recent celebration of the ninth edition of Fat Rugby. Organized by the RUGBY CLUB BREAK, this year’s event attracted over 1,500 participants, including players, coaches, and volunteers. Teams from France, Portugal, and nearly every corner of Spain, even from as far as Cádiz, gathered to compete and celebrate.
Rugby for All Bodies
Fat Rugby breaks away from traditional sports norms by emphasizing body diversity, inclusion, and humor. The tournament features adapted rules for rugby forwards, traditionally heavier positions, and includes the famous “Melé” with 8 players. This unique approach makes the tournament a festival of laughter, respect, and community spirit.
