Pillar Sports and the Swiss Rugby Federation join forces

Sticking Together for Swiss Rugby: Suisse Rugby partners with Pillar Sports

The Swiss Rugby Federation (FSR) is excited to announce a new partnership with Pillar Sports — marking the company’s first collaboration with a European rugby union. Just like quality tape that holds everything in place, this partnership strengthens the structure of Swiss rugby from grassroots to elite level.

A Partnership That Holds Strong

Rugby in Switzerland continues to grow — in participation, performance, and community engagement. To support this progress, we aim to provide our athletes with the best tools both on and off the field.

As the new Official Sports Tape Partner of the Swiss Rugby Federation, Pillar Sports will supply its high-quality Rigid Tape Series and Elastic Adhesive Bandages (EAB) to all national teams. These products help athletes worldwide stay protected, stabilised, and able to perform at their best.

More Than Tape: Supporting Every Layer of the Game

Good tape does more than bind — it stabilises, protects, and provides confidence. This partnership does exactly that for Swiss rugby.

Throughout the 2025/26 season, Pillar Sports will support:

  • National team preparation
  • FSR events and tournaments
  • Athlete care and welfare initiatives
  • Youth and development pathways

"Our medical team was impressed by the quality of the products offered by Pillar Sports. We are delighted to be working together over the next two seasons and to help increase visibility for Pillar Sports in the European market."
— Gilles Mariau, CEO, Swiss Rugby Federation

Strengthening the Future of Swiss Rugby

For Pillar Sports, this partnership represents an important step into European rugby. For the FSR, it further secures our commitment to athlete development, performance, and safety. Like tape that holds under pressure, this collaboration is built on trust, resilience, and shared ambition.

Strapped, Supported, and Always Ready

Together, Suisse Rugby and Pillar Sports will ensure that Swiss athletes remain strong, protected, and always ready — no matter how the game unfolds.
