Rugby union in Mali

Rugby Union in Mali is a minor but growing sport.

Governing body

The governing body for the sport is the Fédération Malienne de Rugby (Malienne Rugby Federation).[1]

History

Mali was formerly a French colony, and the game was first introduced there by French expatriates. In recent years, the game has been played mostly by native Malians.

Mali has a long-established union and players come from all walks of life. [2]

gollark: It would be nice if you had a web UI of some kind to view pastes though, no?
gollark: ... oh *wow* I have broken some things *badly*.
gollark: Hmm, this is neat, every time I run some functions there's randomly a BSOD in the background.
gollark: ```luaload([[_G.global = "mwahaha I am defining a global"]])()```
