A new rugby pitch will be installed in Patna on September 19 ahead of the Asmita Rugby City League, allowing schools, colleges, clubs and independent players to compete.
Patna will see a fresh rugby playing surface laid on September 19 as part of preparations for the Asmita Rugby City League. The installation is being overseen by the Indian Rugby Football Union (IRFU) as a key fixture in its annual state‑level calendar.
The league will open its doors to a wide range of participants, including school and college teams, registered sports clubs, training academies and unaffiliated players. By providing a dedicated venue, the IRFU aims to boost grassroots participation and raise the competitive standards of rugby in Bihar.
Organisers expect a strong turnout from across the state, with the new field set to become a hub for future tournaments and training camps. The event underscores the growing interest in rugby as an alternative sport in the region and aligns with national efforts to diversify India's sporting landscape.
