«For over a decade, we have been promoting rugby across the country alongside the UAR and URBA, fostering participation, the development of new talent, and the well-being of people,” stated Adriana Arias, Head of Communication and Sustainability. The company participates in competitions such as the Top 14, as well as tournaments organized by URBA, including the Torneo del Interior and the National of Clubs. The Buenos Aires Rugby Union (URBA) kicked off its 2026 season with the official presentation of the Top 14 and the confirmation of a new commercial partner joining its sponsorship structure. The initiative aims to strengthen support for clubs and consolidate the growth of the sport locally. The launch took place on Monday at the Belgrano Athletic Club, in the presence of executives, including the organization's president, Rafael Silva, as well as representatives from the 91 affiliated clubs, players, captains, and other stakeholders in the rugby community. In this context, Zurich Argentina announced the addition of Universal Assistance as an official URBA sponsor: a company specializing in travel assistance that thus integrates into the support scheme for one of the most representative organizations in Argentine rugby. The decision is part of a sustained strategy by the insurer, which has been involved in the development of national rugby for over a decade, as learned by the Noticias Argentinas agency. “At Zurich, we believe in sport as a driver of development and community building. In this context, the arrival of Universal Assistance aims to expand the reach of its services within the sports ecosystem. With over 45 years of experience, the company provides comprehensive travel assistance and operates globally as part of the Zurich Insurance Group, with a presence in 21 countries and thousands of employees.” The official activities of URBA began on March 14 with the Top 14 and the Primera A, B, C, and Segunda categories, while Tercera y Desarrollo will start on April 11.
