Waterugby 2025: two floating fields, one shared commitment
Waterugby 2025: two floating fields, one shared commitment
Rugby on the water made a strong comeback this summer. First in Toulon, for a very first edition in the roadstead, then in Toulouse, loyal to the event since its beginnings. At every stage, Marine Floor Europe was there to install the floating fields at the heart of the action.
Toulon 2025: a major first on the Mediterranean
From 27 to 29 June, the harbour of Toulon hosted the AXA Waterugby 2025. A highly anticipated first edition, held on the same weekend as the Top 14 final.
Facing the Mayol stadium, spectators discovered spectacular rugby. No touchlines, no in-goal areas: to score, you had to dive. A unique floating field, installed directly on the sea.
For this unprecedented event, Marine Floor Europe designed and installed a custom floating platform. Robust and modular, it safely hosted several tournaments and activities. Installation was quick, with no impact on the marine environment.
The Waterugby village, run by many partners, also offered initiatives to raise awareness of para-sport and of seabed protection. Strong values that we fully share.
Toulouse 2025: the return of the great floating rugby festival
From 3 to 6 July, it was off to Toulouse for the 7th edition of Waterugby. The Port de la Daurade was once again transformed thanks to our floating structures.
Two 40-metre floating barges, covered in synthetic turf, hosted more than 1,500 players over 4 days. Students, amateurs, companies… all dived into the Garonne in front of an enthusiastic crowd.
The Eau’ll Star tournament brought together 50 legends of international rugby. A fine way to wrap up a week devoted to sport, celebration and conviviality.
