More than a team, a family : EPO, where rugby passion, commitment, and camaraderie have come together 34 years !
Overview
Esprit Passion Ovale (EPO) is the official rugby association of SKEMA Business School. For over 30 years, it has embodied rugby’s core values: respect, teamwork, commitment, and self-improvement. With four national championship titles, EPO proudly represents the school in major competitions.
Beyond the sport, EPO leads impactful initiatives such as Movember by EPO, rugby awareness programs in foster homes, and the WETTO, a weekend connecting past and present EPO members. The association also supports women’s rugby with the Bagheera’s team and brings energy to events through its Pompoms squad.
Joining EPO means becoming part of a close-knit family, where rugby passion meets meaningful engagement.
