The Rugby League European Federation has passed another milestone following the organisation’s incorporation at Companies House in London, a move which makes the body a standalone legal entity.

Inaugurated in Paris in January 2003, this change of status is a further indicator of the RLEF’s growth and maturity and is in line with its strategic objective of taking a more dynamic role for the sport in the northern hemisphere.

RLEF chairman Richard Lewis commented, “I am pleased the RLEF is now incorporated, it is an important step in the continued development and independence of the federation.”
