Los Angeles, CA – May 16, 2025. Rugby Football Club Los Angeles (RFCLA) is proud to welcome Antoine Dupont and his company Ouest Coast into the ownership group of the franchise, currently competing in its second season in Major League Rugby.
Widely regarded as one of the very best players of rugby’s professional era, Dupont will leverage his unparalleled success on the pitch and extensive marketing experience to guide RFCLA’s enduring success in high performance, branding, and commercial development.
I can’t imagine the financials of USMLR are enough to pull him away from his current on-field life. But Nonu is part of the SDL ownership, too. And a couple of NFL players are invested in Seattle in the last couple months as well.
