Dubai Exiles and the Emirates Dubai Sevens
From what started in 1969 with a small group of British expats at Dubai Exiles RFC, the Emirates Airline Dubai Rugby Sevens has grown into one of the world’s most loved IRB Sevens competitions (Dubai 7s website).
The Emirates Airline Dubai Sevens moved from the old Dubai Exiles rugby ground in Al Awir in 2008. At the same time the Dubai Exiles also moved to the impressive new facility – The Sevens Stadium.
