London Skolars Rugby League are pleased to announce that the 2014 Capital Challenge match on January 24th, between Skolars and Wigan Warriors, will again be sponsored by NASDAQ OMX Global Indexes, a leading provider of transparent, rules-based global benchmarks for institutional investors.

The Capital Challenge will be held in the grounds of the Honourable Artillery Company in the heart of the City of London. In 2014, London Skolars will host current Super League Champions and Challenge Cup holders Wigan Warriors, in the absence of traditional opponents the London Broncos.

“We are delighted that NASDAQ is returning as a sponsor of our Capital Challenge match at the HAC in January as it promises to be an outstanding occasion for Rugby League in the South,” said Skolars General Manager Howard Kramer. “NASDAQ has shown a real appetite and enthusiasm for supporting the growth of the sport in London and we look forward to entertaining our fans with a quality match.”

NASDAQ OMX Global Indexes have been creating innovative, market-leading indexes since 1971 with indexes spanning different geographies, including the Nordic and Baltic regions. The parent company, The NASDAQ OMX Group, operates the NASDAQ stock exchange based in the United States and eight European stock exchanges.

In addition to the match, two top speakers in Jamie Peacock MBE and Martin Offiah MBE, will be in attendance at the pre-match luncheon being held in the Prince Consort Room at the Honourable Artillery Company grounds.

Along with NASDAQ, a number of other key partners and sponsors have signed on for this prestigious event. Details of these organisations will be released in the coming weeks.
