Rugby League World Cup 2013 unveil Marriott Hotels & Resorts as official partner

Rugby League World Cup 2013 today announced Marriott Hotels & Resorts as the Official Hotel Partner of the tournament. Marriott will host all 14 competing nations at base camps across the UK and Ireland.
Sally Bolton, RLWC2013 Tournament General Manager said: “It’s fantastic that we are able to announce Marriott Hotels & Resorts as our Official Hotel Partner today. They will provide an excellent service to our teams and just as importantly to both our home fans and the influx of overseas visitors the tournament will bring.
“This announcement is a great way for us to kick off the year and is the first of a raft of partnerships we will be announcing over the coming months.”
Osama Hirzalla, vice president brand marketing and ecommerce for Marriott International in Europe said: “We are delighted to have been chosen by RLWC2013 as the tournament’s Official Hotel Partner. It will be a privilege to host the teams at our hotels across the UK as they prepare for their biggest sporting challenge, and we also hope to welcome the many thousands of fans from the UK and across the world as they travel to support their countries.”

You'd think - but there is already people moaning saying it's not upmarket due to the last time they stayed at one...

Beginning to reel from all this good news.

Got a good weekend deal in the London Docklands Marriott last year. Great place.
Derby City - proud to be flying the flag for Rugby League in the Midlands for over 22 years.

Visit the Derby City website and see the progress being made!

I also remember reading Tom Coates has got some kind of RLWC PR gig, does that mean he can interview himself for Rugby League World magazine?

Great sell by the RLWC 2013 if the Marriott are supplying the rooms for all the teams for FREE as for the thousands of RL fans from around the world staying in Marriott Hotels :))))))))) I just hope the rates in the UK are less than for 1 night at the Marriott here in Moscow which is around 800 a night (Without breakfast:(

Awesome.
Astute analysis from a Wigan fan:

Rumour going around Headingley that Wire will have to play the second half with 12 men.

It seems that they forgot to bring the half time oranges, and Solomona ate Chris Bridge instead.

Don't know why he was hungry, as he looked as though he had eaten the whole youth team before the game started.
