Team Rambos fought like Rambo himself to be crowned the new World Champions at this year’s annual Swamp Soccer World Championship which took place in the Scottish town of Strachur, Argyll.

To celebrate the DVD and Blu-ray release of the latest action-packed Rambo adventure, the team, kitted out as the action hero, battled mud and stiff competition to pick up the trophy. 

The 3rd annual championship included 42 teams and 100 matches over a three day period with entrants travelling from as far a field as Switzerland and Russia to take part in the mud-drenched event. 

In true Rambo style the winners blew their opposition away in the early rounds and beat last year’s defending champions, The Fuddy Muckers, 5-4 in an explosive penalty shoot out in the semi-final before overcoming The Angry Beavers in the final. 

Team Rambos captain, David Butt commented, “After three gruelling days in the swamp it was awesome to emerge with the trophy. Rambo was definitely a huge inspiration for us this year!” 

Martin Hearn, Product Manager, SPHE added, “We are delighted Team Rambos won, it’s an amazing achievement. The DVD of Rambo is also set to score champion sales this week!”

RAMBO is out on DVD and Blu-Ray now from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment.
