The Emirates Dubai Sevens is back this weekend and will be bigger and better than ever thanks to an extended programme of events.
The competition will again be the first of the rebranded, eight-leg HSBC SVNS World Series when it takes place from December 1-3 at The Sevens Stadium.
The National Day weekend event will have another new sport added. In recent years netball, cricket and cross-fit competitions have joined what was once a rugby-only event for the best part of 50 years.
A padel tournament will take place for the first time this year. There are nearly 5,000 players scheduled to take part across the sports, with 100,000 spectators expected to attend across the three days.
