read moreThousands of people travelled to the final day of the Dubai Rugby Sevens on Saturday (5th December) to enjoy not only the competition but the festival atmosphere.
The three-day Emirates Airline Dubai Rugby Sevens attracted close to 100,000 spectators who saw reigning World Series Sevens champions Fiji emerge triumphant, beating England 28-17 in the final.
The first leg of the new season in the World Rugby Sevens Series, the Dubai Sevens has, over recent years, grown to become a seminal event of the sporting calendar in the United Arab Emirates.
Held at The Sevens, the purpose-built rugby sevens stadium to the east of the Dubai CBD, fans enjoyed a great party atmosphere and top-class entertainment in the event’s purpose built Rugby Village.
The event saw Land Rover give fans the chance to experience the unique all-terrain capability of Land Rover Vehicles, DHL offer a unique photographic opportunity to score a try mid-flight and HSBC offering their Premier customers a chance to relax in the ‘al fresco’ lounge.
F&B offerings included a range of different food outlets with cuisines from all over the world.
Entertainment included Rugby Rock, a partnership with the popular Hard Rock Café.
Other activities included a 32-team netball tournament comprised of teams and 750 players from across the region as well as music performances, a teenager zone, and cheerleaders.
The series moves on next weekend to Cape Town, South Africa, the second event in the 10-leg series.
Located at the intersection of the Dubai-Al Ain Road and the Jebel Ali-Lahbab Road, The Sevens Stadium is a venue for rugby, football, Gaelic football, AFL, netball, basketball, cricket, tennis, athletics and concerts.
