'Unthinkable' to allow demise of professional rugby in Welsh capital – Tierney
THE Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) has assumed control of Cardiff Rugby after the club's legal entity Cardiff Rugby Limited was placed temporarily into administration by its directors.
The decision was made once it became clear that the club's owner, Helford Capital, was unable to meet its obligations to fund the club as it was contractually obliged to do. Immediately following appointment, administrators sold the club's business and assets to the WRU.
Players and staff will be unaffected by the sale and fixtures will be fulfilled, with season and match tickets remaining valid.
Prepayments for 2025/26 season tickets will also be honoured, as will existing sponsorship arrangements that have been paid for in advance.
