Welcome Message

A’Salamu Alaykum and welcome to the Emirates Airline Dubai Rugby Sevens 2014.As I reflect on what makes this tournament one of, if not, the most amazing rugby festivals on the planet I realise how very fortunate we are to have such fantastic support from the City of Dubai, the UAE Rugby Federation, the local rugby community and all those who come together in the name of a sport they love so much. We say it’s pretty special, and I guess we would, wouldn’t we. After all, this is the 45th consecutive Dubai Rugby Sevens Tournament. That takes some beating. This year we’ll have nearly 250 teams participating. That’s well over 3,500 players displaying their skills, enjoying the camaraderie and the on-field battle, as they go head to head across the seven pitches at 7he Sevens – our purpose built facility that was constructed in 2008 to not only house this annual event but to host RWC Sevens 2009. By the way, for the record, this is also the 15th year that Dubai has hosted the Sevens World Series and the third year we are concurrently hosting the Women’s Sevens World Series. So, for first time attendees, it gives me pleasure to extend a warm welcome and thank you for joining us. For those who have been before, welcome back for what promises to be another sensational weekend of rugby!The Emirates Airline Dubai Rugby Sevens is absolutely unique in that it hosts three distinct and very different tournaments at one venue simultaneously. The appeal being that there is ‘something for everyone’, it is that unusual blend that makes this tournament so very special, memorable and such a draw. This year, we will again see the HSBC Sevens World Series host 16 male teams and the IRB Women’s Sevens World Series host 12 women’s teams. The Invitation Tournament increases in size and now plays host to 224 teams, the largest it has ever been. There is always a keen interest in developing the Tournament and this year we have introduced a new tournament section, Gulf Under 18 Girls, who will play full contact rugby. It is hoped this section will prove successful and become a permanent fixture in the Tournament going forward.Emirates Airline, an ardent supporter of rugby locally, and of Sevens, has been

tournament sponsor since 1987. Of course the airline’s reach goes much further in rugby given its international commitment to sponsoring the IRB Referees and Rugby World Cup 2011, 2015 and 2019… However, without the support of the other tournament sponsors and the local community the Tournament would not be the world-class spectacle it is today and, for that, we are very grateful. Thank you for your support and participation in our tournament. Please, enjoy the weekend of rugby, the activities surrounding the rugby and savour the generous Dubai hospitality.
