The Pays d'Angoulême is proud to count on its rugby club the SAXV Charente Rugby which plays in Pro D2!
Every home game is a real party where a human tide of Violets arrives proudly chanting " Here, Here is Chanzy "!

The SAXV Charente Rugby, quite a story

Le SAXV Charente Rugby was born from the merger of Sporting Club Angoulême (SCA) and Rugby Club de Soyaux (RCS) in 2010.
From the first season in federal 3 (2010 / 2011), the results are there. The club will become Pro by moving to Pro D2 in 2016 until 2021. After a very mixed season, the club is downgraded to National. To the delight of supporters, the rise in Pro D2 will not be long in coming. From the end of the 2021-2022 season, the SAXV once again reaches the next level.

The 2025-2026 calendar

At each home game, thousands of rugby fans meet at the stadium. These matches are also an opportunity to welcome supporters of opposing teams. They take the opportunity to visit Angoulême, discover the comic book heritage or even the know-how of cognac.
