The Super League involvement was led by Club Wigan, with chief executive Kris Radlinski working closely with Warrington counterpart Karl Fitzpatrick.

Radlinski commented: “I think a lot of us in the UK watched the games in Las Vegas earlier in the year and wished we could be a part of them, either playing or supporting. I spoke with my board about this possibility and there was a unanimous desire to be a part of this opportunity.

“I wrote to Peter V’landys and explained that we are an ambitious club and to consider us for future events. Peter responded positively and put me in touch with his NRL executive team and over the last few months we have been trying to find ways to make this happen.”

Radlinski added: “Through my long-standing relationships with Simon Moran and Karl Fitzpatrick at Warrington, I knew they had similar ambitions and when I spoke to them about it they jumped at the chance to take part.”

Karl Fitzpatrick, chief executive of Warrington Wolves, said: “First and foremost credit must go to Kris Radlinski, Mike Danson and the board at Wigan for leading this project. When we were approached about this opportunity, we were on board from the start. This initiative is fully aligned with our club’s positioning and ambitions.

“Playing in one of the world’s best entertainment destinations in a stunning venue will be an exciting and memorable experience for our supporters, players and partners. It will also put Super League on the map in a sporting market full of opportunities.”

Fitzpatrick added: “The games in Vegas earlier this year really captured the imagination and showed the Rugby League world what can be achieved by thinking big and aiming big – next year will be even bigger and being part of this concept will be. really special.”

Rhodri Jones, RL Commercial Managing Director added: “Having the Betfred Super League when Rugby League returns to Las Vegas in 2025, as well as a historic international meeting for England Women, is a delicious prospect and a huge opportunity for the sport . We look forward to working closely with Wigan Warriors, Warrington Wolves, our commercial and broadcast partners and the NRL to ensure the weekend is another massive success.”
