The FuturED Institute is proud to celebrate the outstanding achievement of the Cha Roga Women’s Rugby Team, which was crowned Undefeated Champion of the 2026 Regional Tournament of the Litoral Femenino. The Córdoba-based team delivered exceptional performance, securing the title without defeat throughout three competition stages. The journey began on 2 August in Rosario with victories against Caranchos (17–7) and Old Resian (22–14). It continued on 16 August in Paraná, where the team surpassed Mulita and Echagüe. Finally, on 6 September, Cha Roga defeated Alma Juniors and celebrated the championship at home. This conquest represents the fifteenth TRL title for the club’s women’s rugby programme, demonstrating the consistency and excellence that has characterised the team for decades.
This victory is particularly significant as it adds to an extraordinary trajectory spanning 30 years of high-quality women’s rugby. Cha Roga has participated in 15 National Club Championships, has achieved a national runner-up finish, three Silver Cups and one Bronze Cup, consistently remaining among the most distinguished teams in the country. The current title not only reaffirms the club’s positioning in Argentine women’s rugby but also grants the team qualification for a new edition of the National Club Championship, opening doors to new challenges at the national level.
What distinguishes Cha Roga’s achievement is the club’s commitment to sustained excellence. Beyond results on the field, the team is supported by a dedicated technical staff comprising Miguel Ruppel, José Jacquat, Diego Villamayor and Cristian Mattei, alongside Imanol Gangli in physical preparation, Leticia Bravin in physiotherapy, and Valeria Devoto as manager. This multidisciplinary team demonstrates that excellence in sport is built through coordinated work and the commitment of all involved.
At The FuturED Institute, we recognise that sport is a transformative space for leadership development, resilience and social impact. Through our International Women’s Rugby Support and Development Programme, we support teams and athletes throughout Latin America who embody the commitment, discipline and strategic vision that characterise clubs like Cha Roga.
Cha Roga’s Regional Tournament of the Litoral championship is testament to the power of dedicated coaching, strategic vision and a culture that invests in women’s participation in sport. Their success resonates with our fundamental belief: that education and opportunity extend far beyond the classroom, and that women’s leadership in sport drives meaningful social transformation across communities.
We congratulate Cha Roga, its squad led by captain Carolina Casal, its coaching staff and all those who accompanied the team throughout this process. We remain committed to supporting women’s rugby initiatives throughout the region.
