OMODA & JAECOO proves sports fans go the extra mile – one in three will travel 100+ miles, and most have a matchday ritual
Ahead of this weekend’s [23-24 May] highly anticipated Investec Champions Cup and EPCR Challenge Cup finals in Cardiff, OMODA & JAECOO UK, the Official Automotive Partner of EPCR, has unveiled new research that shows just how passionate – and determined – sports fans across the UK truly are.
According to a nationwide survey by OnePoll for OMODA & JAECOO UK, 36% of fans would travel 100 miles or more to watch their favourite team play – with 15% saying their team is based more than 150 miles from home.
As hundreds of thousands of fans plan to descend on Cardiff for the pinnacle of European club rugby this weekend, the research captures the sheer effort and emotion that goes into matchday – extending well beyond the final whistle.
The survey of 2,000 UK sports fans also revealed that two-thirds (66%) admit to having a pre-match ritual, whether that’s wearing team colours, sticking to the same pre-game meal or drink, or arriving at the stadium at an exact time – highlighting the deeply personal connection fans build with their team’s performance.
As a bold new entrant to the UK market, and a proud supporter of European rugby’s showpiece tournaments, OMODA&JAECOO UK is celebrating the passion, persistence and personality that unite sports fans and drivers alike.
Victor Zhang, UK Country Director at OMODA & JAECOO UK, said: “At OMODA & JAECOO, we understand that true passion knows no distance – and that goes for fans as much as drivers. Whether it’s a 10-mile dash or a 200-mile road trip, we’re here to power the journey, wherever it leads. This research perfectly captures the spirit of rugby and the unwavering loyalty fans bring to the game.
“With the Investec Champions Cup and EPCR Challenge Cup finals in Cardiff this weekend, there’s no better time to recognise the incredible commitment of supporters across the UK and Europe. We’re proud to be part of this journey – and to help fans go the distance, no matter what it takes.”
The partnership between OMODA & JAECOO UK and EPCR (European Professional Club Rugby) was announced at the start of the 2024/25 season, marking a shared commitment to performance, innovation, and the pursuit of excellence. As Official Automotive Partner, the brand has been supporting tournament activities across Europe, including a standout presence at this weekend’s final.
Whether on the pitch or on the road, OMODA & JAECOO is committed to enabling journeys that matter, bringing cutting-edge new energy vehicles to every generation of fans and drivers.

- Hi there a Jacoo seven twelve month now It's a beautiful car.Well worth the money you get a lot for your Money. Don. 't forget, you can talk to it, asking it to open sunrool winders eater on everything, brilliant care.- This was one of the reviews that convinced me to test drive the car. I bought the AWD version and so far I really like it. Unreal value. Built well and nice to drive. Looks great too in the pearl silver with the black roof. Thanks for the review it helped a lot!
- Liked this review, different from other more stuffy styles I’ve seen, so nice one! Did make me laugh trying the 0-60 test in a 30mph zone 😂🙈
Was set on getting a Tesla with this as a potential 2nd choice but since getting an insurance quote for silly money, the Tesla idea has been binned and I’ll probably be getting one of these before long. Just need to decide whether to get the plug in hybrid or the petrol.
