Homegrown performance and lifestyle brand Carnage has officially partnered with Sri Lanka Rugby as the Official Clothing Partner of the National Rugby Team, bringing together a leading local brand and a sport united by a shared belief that performance is earned through commitment and hard work.
For Carnage, rugby embodies many of the qualities that define great sport, including speed, strength, discipline, teamwork and the resilience to perform under pressure.
“Carnage has always been driven by the belief that progress comes from showing up, putting in the work and being 1% better every day,” said Joel Tillekeratne, Founder of Carnage. “Rugby embodies that mindset. It demands commitment, resilience and the ability to perform as a team. Having Carnage stand behind our national rugby team is something I’m particularly proud of, and we’re looking forward to being part of their journey.”
As the Official Clothing Partner, Carnage will provide official apparel for the National Rugby Team while further strengthening its growing presence within Sri Lanka’s sporting landscape.
The partnership also reflects Carnage’s broader commitment to supporting and developing local sporting talent. Through the Carnage Athletes Foundation, the brand is focused on identifying, nurturing and supporting athletes, with the ambition of helping more Sri Lankans progress towards the international stage.
Carnage has also recently become the Official Activewear Partner of the National Olympic Committee of Sri Lanka, further expanding its involvement in the country’s sporting ecosystem.

The Event Management Association of Sri Lanka (EMA) represented the country at EEMAGINE 2026, one of India’s leading annual conventions for the event and entertainment industry, marking another important step in strengthening Sri Lanka’s presence within the regional events community.
The Sri Lankan delegation included Saliya Weerasekera, President of EMA; Roshan Wijeyaratne, the Association’s Inaugural President and a member of its Advisory Council; and Suranga Fernando. Their participation provided an opportunity to engage with leading professionals from across the regional event management and entertainment sectors, gain insights into emerging industry trends, exchange experiences and strengthen professional networks.
A key highlight of the convention was the special invitation extended to Saliya Weerasekera to take the stage and present awards during the event. The recognition marked a significant moment for Sri Lanka’s event management industry, placing the country’s industry leadership alongside prominent figures from the regional events community.
“It was a great honour to be invited on stage to present awards at EEMAGINE 2026. For me, and for EMA, this represents more than personal recognition; it is an acknowledgement of the contribution and capabilities of Sri Lanka’s event professionals,” said Saliya Weerasekera, President of EMA.
“We are grateful to the organisers of EEMAGINE for this opportunity and for warmly welcoming the Sri Lankan delegation. Platforms such as these allow us to learn from the region, share our own experiences and build stronger connections that can contribute to the continued growth of our industry,” he added.
EMA’s participation at EEMAGINE 2026 also reflects the Association’s continued commitment to creating opportunities for Sri Lankan event professionals to engage with the wider regional and international industry.
Through knowledge exchange, professional networking and greater exposure to global best practices, EMA continues to support the development, growth and recognition of Sri Lanka’s event management sector on the international stage.
