Rugby League Continues to Expand in Chile

Rugby League continues to expand in South America with significant efforts being made in the Bio Bio region of Chile.

In a joint initiative between Latin Heat and the Chile Rugby League XIII, efforts are continuing to establish a domestic competition to follow on from Chile's first full international against El Salvador earlier this year.
Development has been focused around the region of Bio Bio with the cities of Negrete, Santa Barbara and Cabrero embracing the efforts to establish the code.
In the city of Cabrero, the local Chilean Rugby League has been conducting a series of junior clinics, engaging around 100 juniors from the local area and educating in the skills of Rugby League.
Negrete and Santa Barbara have both established Rugby League clubs, with both teams conducting training twice a week with aims for the two cities to play each other later in the year.
Chile is the latest Latin American nation to take efforts to establish Rugby League locally in the past two years, joining the likes of Argentina, Mexico and Brazil.
