Introducing the Allianz Future Fund

We recently announced that we are the new sponsor of the home of England rugby, Allianz Stadium. We’re excited, so we are keen to celebrate with rugby fans across the UK.

Having supported both the men’s and women’s national rugby teams for the past four years, we understand the power of sport, on and off the pitch.

Whether you’re a player, coach, touch judge or Club Secretary, the Allianz Future Fund is part of our commitment to support rugby at all levels across the UK.

The Allianz Future Fund will make rugby accessible to everyone and help today’s young players become the stars of tomorrow, and support community rugby clubs across the UK.

Launching in September 2024, the first £50,000 will be made available in grants ranging from £500 to £3000.

Allianz Stadium

Here at Allianz, we are proud of our involvement with the rugby community. Which is why we are so excited that we're extending our partnership with the Rugby Football Union (RFU) even further. From September, the home of England Rugby, Twickenham became ‘Allianz Stadium’.

This partnership will be transformative, not only to the elite men’s and women’s teams but also to community clubs across the country through investment into the grassroots game. It will also support the RFU's plans to redevelop the stadium over the next decade.
