Rugby Seven
 

The Rugby Sevens Dubai is a spectacular event that brings together record breaking crowds to witness epic rugby moments that make sporting history. Displaying an unrivalled atmosphere of entertainment, it is one of the most coveted sporting events in Dubai, having attracted hundreds of people from around the world.

 
Begun nearly 40 years ago, the Rugby Sevens was initiated by a small group of British expatriates. Having garnered tremendous growth amongst rugby enthusiasts, the inaugural Dubai Rugby Sevens took place in 1970, where the Staffordshire Regiment emerged as champions. A crowning glory was the rugby supporters, seen scattered along the touchline, inciting the crowd to encourage their teams. With the intention of creating a memorable sporting event, the rugby extravaganza has proved to be a resounding success, continuing to grow in strength each year.
 
The most distinctive feature of the Rugby Sevens is that each year is encountered with a host of new innovations, offering both on and off the pitch action. Having transformed into a phenomenal event, the world’s most passionate rugby enthusiasts will find themselves amidst the finest Sevens actions and fabulous entertainment. Among the exceptional mix of sport and entertainment, Rugby Rock stands out the most, showcasing a compelling line-up of music. Other features include cheerleaders and Sa’aba the Mascot.
