The National Lottery is set to become an official partner of the Rugby Football League (RFL) and of Women’s and Girls’ Rugby League.
According to the deal, the logos and brands of the National Lottery would appear on jerseys of the players at all the events. Additionally, the players of the National Lottery would be provided with the opportunity to have tickets to all the major fixtures.
As per Gambling Insider, Ralph Rimmer, RFL CEO said: “The growth of girls’ and women’s Rugby League at all levels has been wonderful, which made the impact of over a year of not playing so hard for the players, coaches, volunteers and clubs.”
It was added: “Our thanks to The National Lottery who share our vision and understand that Rugby League changes the lives of the girls and women involved.”
As per Gambling Insider, Nigel Railton, chief executive of National Lottery operator Camelot, commented: “Supporting sports has always been part of the mission of The National Lottery and this inventive partnership will undoubtedly make a difference.
“The loss of spectators and cancellation of events has had such an impact, so I am proud that National Lottery players are able to support Rugby League after a difficult year.”
