  • Going for the try: Fiji will attempt to defend their title in Dubai.

    There’s just over a week to go until the one of the biggest UAE sporting and social events of the year, and organisers of the Emirates Airline Dubai Rugby Sevens are urging fans to grab their tickets fast.

    The iconic event, along with the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, is a hugely popular part of the sporting calendar in the Emirates, drawing crowds in their droves and players from all over the world.

    As well as a fantastic weekend of world-class rugby and the return of the netball tournament, The Sevens Stadium is also the place to be between December 1-3, with a range of sponsors’ promotions and planned activities for all the family to enjoy.

    With over 100,000 spectators expected to walk through the gates over the three days in fancy dress, this is set to be another fun-filled experience you won’t want to miss out on.

    With free entry for all on Thursday, free entry for under 12s for the entire weekend, the family offering at the Emirates Airline Dubai Rugby Sevens continues to get better and better each year.

    The Sabaa 7s Club is back for yet another year and promises a host of activities for all children including carnival stands, face painting, bouncy castles and much more.

    For the very little ones the dedicated nursery, Little Wonders, will make sure that parents can enjoy the rugby knowing that their children are being well taken care of.

    Entertainment at its finest: Besides watching matches, there’s plenty of activities to keep you occupied.
