Positive developments in Greece

[Damien]

It seems that the situation in Greece is getting better. This was one of my big hopes in Greece qualifying for the World Cup i.e the recognition that would follow. Its pretty hard to dispute that the GRLA controls Rugby League in Greece when they have qualified for a World Cup held at large World renowned Football grounds and a draw made by Prince Harry:

GRLA president George Stilianos said: “We understand that there has been a change to the president of the Hellenic Federation of Modern Pentathlon (HFMP) which the government recognises as controlling rugby league, and their new general secretary confirmed the body has no interest in disrupting our activity here. This has yet to be confirmed in writing, however the signs are positive at this stage, so much so that we are planning on openly playing rugby league once again.

“Qualifying for the World Cup, in a draw made by Prince Harry at Buckingham Palace, has significantly raised media interest in the sport here.”
