The French Rugby Federation (FFR) has announced a €13 million loss for the 2023-2024 season, largely due to expenses from organizing the 2023 Rugby World Cup. The federation’s operating deficit reached €29 million, with significant losses linked to a partnership in the World Cup’s economic group, of which FFR holds a 55% stake. To address its financial struggles, the FFR plans drastic spending cuts, negotiations for a new concession at Stade de France, and seeks a better revenue distribution model for the Six Nations championship.
