With aspirations to make the playoffs, the team has turned to the community for support through an exciting crowdfunding initiative. Beginning February 7, 2026, the campaign titled “Support the Players with #ChiaChia Banners” will run until March 1, 2026.
The Power of Community Support
The motivation behind this crowdfunding effort is to engage fans in a meaningful way, creating a new atmosphere in the stadium for both players and supporters. The cheer and encouragement from the stands serve as a vital source of strength for the players on the field.

The funds raised will go toward creating the #ChiaChia Banners and contributing to the operational costs of the team, as well as supporting community and social initiatives linked with Rugby.
Rewarding Backers
Among the exciting rewards for backers, the
