Welsh rugby: Swansea Council asks government body to intervene in fight for Ospreys

Advertisements

Swansea Council leaders have taken a new step in their bid to ensure Ospreys continue to exist beyond the end of the 2026-27 season.

Ospreys are under threat of being removed from the professional tier with owners Y11 Sports & Media in negotiations with the WRU as preferred bidders to buy Cardiff from the governing body.

That scenario could see the WRU achieve its aim of reducing Welsh rugby’s top tier from four to three teams.

The local authority’s latest move is to call on the the United Kingdom’s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) “to investigate the proposed takeover of Cardiff Rugby which could lead to the loss of professional men’s rugby in Swansea”.

The council say its “concerns focus on the proposed reduction of professional teams from four to three, the process for allocating licences, and the potential for one ownership group to control two Welsh clubs”.
