RMZ, one of the world’s largest family-owned alternative asset owners has joined the inaugural Rugby Premier League (RPL) with the ownership of Delhi Redz, the franchise representing the capital city in the league. This strategic investment reflects RMZ’s vision to engage with transformative assets that contribute to India's evolving sporting and cultural ecosystem, stemming from belief that sport can unite, uplift, and ignite a new generation.
 
The Rugby Premier League (RPL), set to debut in June 2025, aims to position Rugby as a mainstream sport in India, fostering talent and expanding the game’s footprint across the nation. The Delhi Redz aims to be a dominant force in the league, attracting top-tier talent and fostering grassroots development in the sport.
 
The team will be led by Head Coach, Tomasi Cama, a seasoned international Rugby professional with extensive experience in elite tournaments, supported by Assistant Coach, Arun Dagar. The squad will feature a competitive lineup of leading Indian and international Rugby players.
 
Commenting on this landmark announcement Sidharth and Mihir Menda Members, Supervisory Board at RMZ, said, “At RMZ, we invest in transformational platforms that shape the future of India’s cultural and sporting landscape. Our acquisition of the Delhi franchise is not just about owning a team—it’s about shaping tomorrow by bringing rugby into the mainstream and creating a lasting impact on the sport in India. The Rugby Premier League offers a powerful opportunity to build a passionate community, inspire young athletes, and fuel grassroots development. This isn’t a team built behind closed doors, it’s built from the ground up, for everyone. Only open fields, open hearts, and a belief that if you’ve ever dared to rise - you already belong herb. By strengthening rugby’s presence, we are championing a new era of sports in the country. We believe rugby has the potential to capture the imagination of Indian sports fans, and we are excited to play a pivotal role in its journey to prominence.”
 
With rugby still in its early days in India, Delhi Redz will focus on democratizing access to the sport, developing grassroots talent, and creating a culture that places wellbeing, belonging, and purpose at its core.
