Rugby league in Spain
Rugby league is a team sport that has begun to be played in some areas of Spain, notably the autonomous community of Catalonia and the Valencian Community. Rugby league has long been played in Northern Catalonia and since the admission of Catalans Dragons to the European Super League efforts have been made to spread the game to the rest of Catalonia with some Dragons games being played in Barcelona. This has led to the formation of a Catalan league which includes an FC Barcelona team. On June 20, 2009, the first Super League game was played at Barcelona in front of a crowd of over 18,500, Catalans Dragons lost 12 - 24 to the Warrington Wolves. Moving outside of Catalonia the first game in the province of Castellon took place in November 2013 with five rugby league clubs operating across the Valencian Community. A representative team, Origin Espagnol, made up of players of Spanish Origin have taken part in rugby league nines competitions.
