2018 HSBC Sevens Series – Dubai 7s | Dubai, United Arab Emirates | Nov 29-30

The Emirates Airline Dubai Rugby Sevens 2018 takes place this weekend, November 29 to November 30.

Dubai again hosts both the men’s and women’s HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series, acting as the men’s series opener and round two of the women’s, following on from in the opening round in Glendale, Colorado, last month.

Twenty-eight teams will compete over the course of three days, 15 men’s core sides and 11 women’s core sides, with Zimbabwe’s men and Kenya’s women named as the invitational teams.

This year has an added incentive for both men’s and women’s teams, who are not only competing for the coveted world series title but also for their ticket to Tokyo 2020, as the 2019 series acts as principle route for Olympic Games qualification.
