Our History

More than 20 years ago, a few enthusiasts gathered to play rugby and soon decided to form a club. Several founding members being of South African origin it seemed logical to form the name of this emerging club with the South African national team nickname: ‘the springboks’ and the name of the region of Greece, where it was founded: Attica. 

So, the Attica Sprinboks was founded in 2000

The veterans team has a long history. In 2009, there were around 45 veterans.

Apart from occasional local games, games with foreign veteran teams never stopped to be

played (veteran team or mixed team with senior players).
