SAINT-PRIEST RUGBY

What SAINT-PRIEST RUGBY does

Saint-Priest Rugby is a French amateur rugby club organized as a non-profit association under the loi 1901 framework, headquartered in Saint-Priest within the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. Firmographic data records a founding year of 1944, indicating a long-standing local presence, although the club's current website carries a 2013–2026 copyright notice. The club fields a Fédérale 2 senior team (competing in the 4th tier of French rugby) and a Fédérale B reserve team, and operates a structured youth pathway through BEL-R teams at U14, U16, and U19 levels, complemented by an École de Rugby for introductory age groups and a Rugby Loisir (non-contact adult) section.

The club's product offering is fundamentally sporting and community-based rather than technology-based. Core deliverables include competitive match participation across multiple age tiers, coaching and player development, and ancillary clubhouse facilities (club house, training fields, formation/meeting rooms). The club also produces recurring events such as the "Mâchon Ruck & Roll" tournament (3rd edition scheduled for June 20, 2026) and the "Les Gones Sanpriots" youth tournament. Its digital presence is built on the Clubeo platform, used for website, member communications, and event publishing; there is no proprietary technology stack or technology product.

The business model is a classic French amateur association model. Revenue, while not disclosed, is generated through three streams: (1) membership and player fees, (2) commercial sponsorships from a set of named local and regional sponsors including E. Leclerc, Alain Afflelou, Allianz, Société Générale, Auchan, Leclerc Sport, and Boucherie des Arcades, and (3) institutional/public subsidies from the Ville de Saint-Priest, Grand Lyon Métropole, and Région Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. The club also maintains sporting partnerships with US Vénissieux Rugby and the COL (Club Omnisport de Lyon), and has no disclosed funding rounds, M&A activity, or paid technology product.
