DSM Avocats à la Cour, ROTOMADE, Degré110 and Backtosport co-organised the second annual “Luxembourg Oval Wheels”, an inter-company 7-wheelchair rugby tournament in Luxembourg. Held on 26 January 2024 at the Rehazenter, this event brilliantly highlighted 7-wheelchair rugby, an inclusive and dynamic sport, bringing together participants living with, and those living without, disabilities in a competitive and enthusiastic spirit.
The event, sponsored by LaLux, The Dots, Clearstream, and Come à la Maison, witnessed the participation of over 100 people, divided into 11 teams, including Clearstream, PwC Luxembourg, DSM Avocats à la Cour, Rotomade, Biorock, Degré110, CA Indosuez Wealth Management, and three teams from the BackToSport association, without forgetting the Les Furets rugby team.
The event also shed light on the work of two associations:
- Back To Sport, which encourages persons with a physical disability to go beyond their limits in sporting events; and
- Inclusion is the new game, which promotes inclusion through sports among companies and schools in the Grand Duchy.
The event’s profits will be donated entirely to these associations.
The organisers would like to thank all participants for their commitment and the enriching exchanges they generated. Enthusiasm and conviviality were in great supply, providing testimony to the growing interest of companies in this initiative.
Buoyed by its success, the event is on its way to becoming an annual must, with the third annual tournament planned for the end of January 2025. Companies wishing to participate in the next edition are invited to contact the organisers now for further information.
