The men from "Dieux du Stade" are back

For 16 years, hot male athletes have stripped down for an annual calendar called Dieux du Stade (Gods of the Stadium). Initially, all the models were from the Stade Français, a Paris-based rugby team; however, recently the calendars have included players from other rugby clubs and athletes from other sports.

Although the calendar was created to raise money for charity, it was seen by its creator, Max Guazzini, as a way to get more people -- especially women -- interested in watching rugby. (If they really wanted more people to watch, just have the guys play naked!)

Yes, 2018 is just around the corner so it's time to think about your next big calendar purchase. Here's the teaser for Dieux du Stade 2018: 

And here's a reminder of some of the images from past releases:
