It has only been a rumor thus far, but today, Fermín de la Calle confirms in his blog that the Liga Superiberica will kick off on 24 April, 2009.
The first professional rugby union tournament in the history of Spanish rugby union will have a franchise system similar to the American ones. There will be 5 Spanish teams, 4 Portuguese and 10th one from Gibraltar. It will run from 24 April to 28 June.
Many details are yet to be confirmed, but in any case, this is a quantum leap for the game in Spain.
Awesome sounds good for spanish rugby, will the players be made up of just nationals? Who would be best to contact to play for one of the teams?
