Ivan van Rooyen (born 1981/82) is a South African professional rugby union football coach.

The Lions now compete in the United Rugby Championship.

Contract Rumours

Rumours circulated in February 2023 that van Rooyen's contract was up for renewal. Despite achieving a win rate of less than 40%, his contract was expected to be "more lucrative than John Dobson",[4] who won the United Rugby Championship in the 2021/22 season with the DHL Stormers.[5] In the same season the Emirates Lions failed to make the playoffs, finishing 12th out of the 16 team competition.[6]
