Thank You, Atlanta!
Dear Valued Rugby ATL Supporters,
First and foremost – thank you. We are incredibly thankful for your support over the past 4+ years and you, the fans and partners, have helped build an incredible team here in Atlanta. Without you, we would have never made it this far.
Major League Rugby (MLR) today announced that subject to certain closing conditions, Rugby ATL plans to relocate to Los Angeles for the 2024 season upon closing of the acquisition by the new ownership group. Details of the transition are being finalized, and a formal announcement and introduction of the new team and ownership group are expected soon.
We have truly enjoyed calling Atlanta home and we know the rugby culture and community will continue to thrive here moving forward. From the early days of matches at Life University to once again securing the “Fire and Ice Cup” this past season and everything in between, your dedication fueled our players and we are forever grateful. Although we are moving West, your dedication to this team, and Atlanta, are why Major League Rugby will continue to seek and engage ownership groups in an effort to return to Atlanta as the league continues to expand.
A special thank you to our terrific partners, especially Barbour Orthopaedics, for their unwavering support and ensuring our players and fans were well taken care of – on and off the pitch.
We remain a people-first organization and there are still many details yet to be determined. Our continued focus is ensuring our players and staff are taken care of, whether they are relocating with the team or not.
Again, thank you for pushing the P.A.C.E. and cheering on the team over the past 4+ years. You are what made Rugby ATL so special.
Signed,
Your Rugby ATL Team
