Fuchu-the City of Rugby Lovers

Fuchu City has pursued a variety of initiatives as part of its campaign as 
"Fuchu, the Rugby City." Fuchu is home to two Top League rugby clubs-Toshiba 
Brave Lupus and Suntory Sungoliath. The city is located next to the site of 
Tokyo Stadium, the venue for the upcoming eight World Cup matches including the 
opening match. As the city prepares to host official team camps for England and 
France, rugby fever in Fuchu is expected to reach new heights.
