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]
