IT’S now just 500 days to go to the start of the Rugby League World Cup which kicks off next October with a fantastic double-header at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff.
This milestone also marks the launch of the RLWC2013 volunteer recruitment programme – with 500 volunteers wanted to work across the tournament in various disciplines, in all of the host communities.
RLWC2013 general manager Sally Bolton said: “We are looking for 500 enthusiastic members of our host communities to support the event as volunteers. With the 500 in 500 programme, we’re offering the chance to be involved in a ‘hands-on’ way in what we believe will be the best Rugby League tournament there has ever been.
“Volunteering is now a major part of any big international sports event and this will be a win-win for us and the lucky 500 people who are chosen to represent RLWC2013. We will provide top level opportunities to be involved at some great games like the opening matches at the Millennium Stadium, all the way through to the final at Old Trafford”.
Cllr Terry O’Neill, leader of Warrington Borough Council said: “The public support behind Warrington’s bid to bring the RLWC2013 to the town has been phenomenal and I know that even more people want to get actively involved in the competition as it draws closer. This is a great opportunity for them to do just that.”

RLWC2013 kicks off in Cardiff on October 26 2013 when host nations Wales and England take on Italy and Australia respectively. Fourteen nations then go head to head in three groups for a place in the semi-finals double-header in the spectacular setting of Wembley Stadium in London. The tournament also visits France and Ireland as RWLC2013 looks to help the game develop in Europe.
