Africa now has a total of 20 members within World Rugby.<\/p>\n<p>This means both countries will be eligible to qualify for the 2023 Rugby World Cup (RWC 2023) as they are set to compete in the 2021 Rugby Africa Cup (RAC).<\/p>\n<p>The RAC is set to kick off next month with a repechage event, which Burundi will compete in, before the group phase sees four pools of three teams each playing a round-robin tournament at a single venue per pool.<\/p>\n<p>The winner of the repechage will join Rugby Africa Cup Pool D in Tunisia in July together with Tunisia and Zimbabwe. Meanwhile Algeria will play in the Rugby Africa Cup Pool C in Kampala against Ghana and hosts Uganda from July 10-18.<\/p>\n<p>The best two teams from each pool qualify for the 2022 Rugby Africa Cup, which serves as the final round of the RWC 2023 qualifier for Africa. The eventual winner of the Rugby Africa Cup in August 2022 will qualify for RWC 2023 as Africa 1, and enter Pool A alongside hosts France, while the runner-up will enter the final qualification tournament for another chance at qualifying.<\/p>\n<p>World Rugby Chairman Sir Bill Beaumont welcomed both countries saying Africa was a key region with huge potential for the future development of rugby.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfrica is home to the current men\u2019s Rugby World Cup winners and we will continue to work closely with Rugby Africa to ensure we provide emerging unions such as Algeria and Burundi with continuous support and a solid framework to further accelerate the growth of the sport across the region.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Albert Havyarimana, president of the F\u00e9d\u00e9ration Burundaise de Rugby, said Burundi\u2019s admission was a \u201creward for many years of hard work<\/p>\n<p>Sofiane Abdelkader Benhassen, president of the F\u00e9d\u00e9ration Alg\u00e9rienne de Rugby, was excited that\u00a0the growth of the game in the country will now be accelerated in addition to Algeria getting an opportunity to qualify for the Olympic Games and the Men\u2019s and Women\u2019s Sevens and Rugby World Cups.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Algeria and Burundi became full members of rugby\u2019s world governing body, World Rugby, following approval during a virtual meeting of the World&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":50,"featured_media":16918,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[16,17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-16914","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-education","category-sport"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Algeria, Burundi become full members of World Rugby - AAH.JZR<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/jazairhope.org\/en\/algeria-burundi-become-full-members-of-world-rugby\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Algeria, Burundi become full members of World Rugby - AAH.JZR\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Algeria and Burundi became full members of rugby\u2019s world governing body, World Rugby, following approval during a virtual meeting of the World&hellip;\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/jazairhope.org\/en\/algeria-burundi-become-full-members-of-world-rugby\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"AAH.JZR\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/jazairhope\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2021-05-14T16:11:15+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/jazairhope.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/gettyimages-635222433-594x594-1.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"594\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"394\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Hope Jzr\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Hope Jzr\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/jazairhope.org\\\/en\\\/algeria-burundi-become-full-members-of-world-rugby\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/jazairhope.org\\\/en\\\/algeria-burundi-become-full-members-of-world-rugby\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Hope Jzr\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/jazairhope.org\\\/fr\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/0b50f60fad840cf92313307e38c9d20d\"},\"headline\":\"Algeria, Burundi become full members of World Rugby\",\"datePublished\":\"2021-05-14T16:11:15+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/jazairhope.org\\\/en\\\/algeria-burundi-become-full-members-of-world-rugby\\\/\"},\"wordCount\":469,\"commentCount\":0,\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/jazairhope.org\\\/en\\\/algeria-burundi-become-full-members-of-world-rugby\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/jazairhope.org\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2021\\\/05\\\/gettyimages-635222433-594x594-1.jpg\",\"articleSection\":[\"Education\",\"Sport &amp;
