It is my great pleasure to welcome you to Round 4 of the 2024/25 Investec Champions Cup. As we enter the decisive stages of the pool phase, the intensity continues to build, with clubs battling for crucial victories to secure their place in the knockout rounds.

This season holds particular significance as we celebrate 30 seasons of EPCR competitions – three decades of unforgettable moments, remarkable performances, and thrilling rivalries that have defined the very pinnacle of club rugby. Once again, the Investec Champions Cup has delivered an outstanding display of passion, skill and commitment, showcasing why this tournament remains the pinnacle of international club rugby.

We are incredibly proud to share this journey with Investec, our title partner, whose long-term support has been instrumental in enhancing the stature of this world-class competition. We also extend our heartfelt thanks to our official partners – Heineken, DHL, Georgia Tourism, OMODA | JAECOO, Tissot, Gilbert, Macron, and Qatar Airways – as well as to our broadcasters who bring the excitement of these matches into homes across the globe, connecting fans in over 100 countries.

Rounds 3 and 4 are always pivotal, as the road to the knockout stages becomes defined and every match, every try, and every moment takes on even greater importance. From the players striving to create history, to the passionate supporters filling stadiums with energy and colour, this is what makes the Investec Champions Cup so special.

Thank you for being part of this extraordinary journey. I wish all the competing teams, their fans, and everyone involved the very best as we move one step closer to the highly anticipated Finals Weekend in Cardiff next May 23rd and 24th.

Enjoy the action!

Dominic McKay
Chairman, EPCR
