The project is driven by the UAR along with Sudamérica Rugby, with the intention of building a joint bid involving Brazil, Chile, and Uruguay. The initiative seeks to consolidate the sustained growth of the sport in the region to present a solid alternative on the international stage, according to Agencia Noticias Argentinas.

As part of the official agenda, work sessions are being held with national and international rugby leaders and representatives, including Gabriel Travaglini, president of the UAR; Félix Páez Molina, vice president; and Agustín Pichot, member of the World Rugby Council.

The leadership of the UAR emphasized that the bid goes beyond the sports field and is projected as a long-term development policy. Travaglini stated that the initiative has a federal character and aims to leave a legacy in infrastructure, competitiveness, and territorial expansion of rugby.

Gilpin's visit is part of the preliminary evaluation stage carried out by World Rugby before defining future venues. In this context, Argentina is trying to position itself as the center of a regional bid capable of hosting a global-scale tournament, with organizational standards in line with international demands and with the institutional support of the entire South American continent.
