- The highly anticipated sports & entertainment festival is set to feature a weekend of family fun activities and global musical entertainment, alongside a host of international and invitational sporting events.
The Emirates Dubai 7s, part of the HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series, is set to return to the UAE during the 1st – 3rd December 2022 following a successful 2021 season. Sporting fans and families alike can choose from several ticket options to book for the weekend. The 2022 edition of the rugby festival will deliver an amplified experience for all in attendance with additional entertainment stands and activations for children and young adults, including a new Hops & Food Market, the invitational team party tent, as well as a new stage called ‘The House’.
The HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series will be the centrepiece of the Emirates Dubai 7s, which has hosted the series since its inception in 1999, as some of the world’s best rugby 7s players take to the pitch. With over 100,000 fans expected to attend this year’s festival, fans and visitors can look forward to an exciting weekend of music alongside the rugby action on Pitch 1 and 2. Three world-renowned superstar DJs are set to headline Frequency on 8, a visual and audio experience and Beats on Two, a unique bar concept which overlooks all the action on Pitch 2.
Participation in sports is also growing at the festival, with the addition of a new fitness competition, WODON3, an inclusive fitness competition for fitness elites as well as novice athletes looking to push their limits. This will join rugby 7s, 10s, netball and Cricket presented by Dulsco, featuring male and female participants from 32 countries.
