Wheelchair Rugby Australia and ECP extend powerful partnership for 2025

Wheelchair Rugby Australia (WRA) and ECP Asset Management (ECP) continue their partnership for the 2025 Wheelchair Rugby National League Brisbane Bash, building on a successful collaboration in 2024 that has propelled the sport forward.  

ECP will remain a major round partner for the Brisbane Bash, which kicked off today (Friday 4 April) at Nissan Arena, cementing its vital role in supporting wheelchair rugby athletes and promoting inclusive sport across the country.  

WRA CEO Chris Nay said: “Through the continued support of ECP, we’re able to not only push the boundaries of wheelchair rugby but also ensure a greater future for the sport in Australia.” 

“ECP’s commitment allows us to provide athletes with the resources and platform they need to shine at the national level and beyond. With this extension, the partnership will continue to amplify the excitement and increase support for the athletes, teams, and fans who come together for this great game.” 

ECP is a leading Australian asset management company that provides a range of investment solutions to institutional and retail clients. ECP Director Manny Pohl said they are thrilled to continue the partnership with WRA.  

“As strong advocates for inclusivity and excellence, we believe in the transformative power of sport to inspire and unite. We look forward to the continued growth of wheelchair rugby and the opportunity to make a meaningful impact together through the Brisbane Bash in 2025.” 

The partnership underscores the value of collaboration in driving positive change, both on and off the court, and has been instrumental in driving the growth of wheelchair rugby, helping to elevate the profile of the sport and support the athletes who make it all happen. 

Round 2 of the 2025 Wheelchair Rugby National League – the Brisbane Bash – begins today, with three days of play across two divisions and is free to watch. Match scores, photos and more will be shared daily on the WRA social media pages.
