Wigan Warriors Win BBC Sports Personality Award

Wigan Warriors have been named the BBC Sports Personality Team of the Year for 2024 after an impressive season, during which they won every major trophy available, including the World Club Challenge, Challenge Cup, League Leaders' Shield, and Super League Grand Final, completing a historic quadruple. This achievement mirrors their 1994 success, marking 30 years since their last clean sweep. Coach Matt Peet has led the team to seven major trophies since taking charge in 2022, despite having coached fewer than 100 games. Wigan's recognition at the awards is seen as a significant moment for rugby league as a whole, which has often been overshadowed compared to other sports. CEO Kris Radlinski emphasized the importance of this accolade for both the club and the sport, highlighting the ongoing challenges faced by rugby league in gaining media attention and support. As they prepare for the 2025 season, maintaining motivation and ambition remains a key focus for the Warriors.
