With the support of SOCAR, the Georgian Special Olympics team competed in the International Tag Rugby Tournament in Paris on May 29-30, won every match, and reclaimed the championship title.

 

Non-contact tag rugby was added to the sports disciplines of Special Olympics International in 2019. In Georgia, the rugby team was established in 2024 and competed in the Paris tournament for the first time that same year, winning gold medals.

 

This year, the team participated in the Paris tournament for the third time. In the 24-team championship, the Georgian Special Olympics team played six matches and won each of them. In its third year of existence, the team remains undefeated, with a total record of 17 wins and 3 draws.

 

For SOCAR, supporting the realization of the rights of persons with disabilities is one of the priority areas of social responsibility. The company continues to support initiatives that contribute to creating equal opportunities and strengthening an inclusive environment.
