The countdown has begun for the Emirates Airline Dubai Rugby Sevens for the annual extravaganza which will be staged at The Sevens Stadium on December 3-5.

With just one month to go for the event, the tournament’s organisers announced a range of exciting activities to ensure everyone has a fun, family experience like never before.

As well as a fantastic weekend of world class rugby with top-class players, will see a number of off-pitch activities to keep everyone entertained.

HSBC will present kids and adults with an unmatched array of games and activities to choose from at its #BRINGYOURGAME Zone.

Fans will have the opportunity to take on the HSBC Rugby Ambassadors who will be available throughout the day with exclusive prizes to be awarded for the best scores.

Tournament sponsor Emirates will offer fans a unique photo opportunity with Lewis the lion mascot and Emirates Fly With Me giveaways for the kids to enjoy.

The dnata travel stand promises to be another big draw next month, giving fans a chance to compete against each other in the bungee run challenge and enter the draw to win an awesome prize.

In addition, special provisions have been made for families, including a separate family entrance, free entry for under-12s, 2,000 designated seats in the dnata family stand, Sabaa 7s Club, a crèche and a number of food and beverage options for all to enjoy.

There’s also a free bus service to family drop-off points throughout Dubai.

Speaking about the increased number of activities on offer this year, Tournament Director, Jim Fitzsimons, said: “Excitement is certainly building and we are making sure everyone will have their best experience at Dubai’s favourite sporting event. A special welcome and thank you to the many new tournament sponsors and of course a huge thank you goes out to our regular sponsors and partners who help us make this a fantastic event, every year.”
