There’s a brand new addition to male pinup calendars this year from an unlikely source. The Azlans, are an inclusive rugby team in Belfast, Northern Ireland, celebrating their 10th anniversary, so decided to take off their kit as a fundraiser for the club. They were founded to create a space where players of all sexual orientations, genders, abilities and backgrounds can enjoy rugby without judgment. Their mission has always been clear: rugby is for everyone, and everyone deserves a place on the pitch, and they have always championed visibility, community, and unapologetic body positivity
10 Years Bold pays tribute to the friendships and solidarity that have shaped the club’s identity. Featuring players from across the squad, the project highlights the diversity and camaraderie that define the Azlans both on and off the field. The fundraiser will directly support the team’s participation in major upcoming LGBTQ+ rugby tournaments, including the 2026 Hadrian Cup and the 2027 Union Cup, Europe’s largest inclusive rugby competition.
10 Years Bold, the Azlans calendar, is now available to purchase via the club’s website: here.
