Italian Rugby Federation extends stay with NH Hotel Group

The Italian Rugby Federation (FIR) has extended its partnership with European hotel chain NH Hotel Group.

The new deal will run until the end of 2017 and names NH Hotel Group Italy as an official sponsor of the Italian national team.

Under the agreement, the company will offer hospitality services for the team at facilities across the country.

The new agreement commences with Italy’s opening match at the Six Nations tournament against Wales in Rome on February 5.

The Italy team will stay at the NH Collection Roma Vittorio Veneto hotel ahead of the game, and before its subsequent home games against Ireland on February 11 and France on March 11. Each of Italy’s home games will take place at Rome’s Stadio Olimpico.
