Community organizations we support in our focus countries.
Women's rugby teams embody the grit, resilience, and determination that define the Wolverines spirit. These athletes serve as powerful role models in their communities, challenging outdated gender assumptions and proving that strength, leadership, and competitive excellence know no gender. By supporting women's rugby, we invest in organizations that break barriers, inspire the next generation of female athletes, and build cultures rooted in teamwork, discipline, and inclusivity.
Women's Rugby Team · Lebanon
Founder · Manager · Player · Role Model
Sarah: "Founded in 2018, Aconites Rugby is a women-led team built on determination, discipline, and a shared mission to grow the sport in Lebanon. What began as a small group of athletes has evolved into an internationally recognized squad proudly representing Lebanon at major tournaments such as the Istanbul Beach Rugby League and the HSBC Dubai 7s. Our mission is centered on empowering women through rugby, developing skilled athletes, strong leaders, and a culture rooted in teamwork, inclusivity, and resilience. We are by women, for women, driven by our passion."
Sarah: "Despite rapid growth and rising competitive standards, Aconites continues to navigate major challenges common to women's grassroots sports in the region. We train consistently, but lack access to a dedicated field, sustainable facilities, and the funding required for high-level coaching, physiotherapy, and recovery support. Travel costs for international competitions, equipment updates, and infrastructure limitations place significant financial strain on our players and staff. As a self-funded team pushing to raise the standard of women's rugby in Lebanon, these challenges fuel our determination to keep moving forward."
Sarah: "The Wolverines' contribution plays a transformative role in our journey. Their support directly covers essential expenses such as training kits and field costs, enabling us to train consistently, maintain professional standards, and continue building a competitive environment for women in rugby. Beyond the financial impact, this partnership strengthens visibility for women's rugby across the region and reinforces the message that female athletes deserve equal opportunity, investment, and recognition. With the Wolverines behind us, we are better equipped to grow, compete, and inspire the next generation of women in sport."
