Who we are
Built by the community,
for the community
The Athenian Centaurs RFC are a self-organised club. We do not have a federation behind us, a wealthy backer, or an institutional budget. What we have is people who believe that rugby should be open to everyone, and who show up twice a week to prove it.
Every training session, every event, every time we step onto the pitch in Athens is made possible by our players, our community, and the people who choose to support us. That includes you, if you want it to.
We are Greece's first queer and inclusive rugby union club, a registered member of International Gay Rugby (IGR), and a club that has been building something real in Athens since 2020. Supporting the Centaurs means supporting all of that.
The Centaurs exist because people show up. On the pitch, at events, and in moments like this one.
Where the money goes
What it costs to keep
a club on the pitch
Running a rugby club is not cheap. Here is exactly what our players and community cover every season.
Pitch rental
We train twice a week at P.A.O. Rouf Soccer Field in Athens. Pitch hire is one of our biggest fixed costs and it is covered entirely by the club community.
Match kit
Playing kit, training equipment, and everything players need on the pitch. Keeping the squad properly equipped is an ongoing cost that grows as the club grows.
Competitions & travel
Entry fees for IGR tournaments, travel costs, and the logistics of competing internationally as part of the global inclusive rugby community.
Events & visibility
Open training days, women's+ sessions, Athens Pride participation, and community events. Visibility is part of our mission and it has a cost we are proud to carry.
Club administration
IGR membership, insurance, website, and all the background work that keeps a properly run club operating smoothly and safely for every member.
How we cover it right now
Our players pay membership fees. We organise events and parties to raise funds for bigger goals. And our club merch, every hoodie sold and every ball shipped, goes directly back into keeping the club running. It works. But having sponsors and donors alongside us would let us do more, reach more people, and keep rugby accessible to everyone who wants to play.
