FRN Dubai 7s Team and Sponsors Announced

Find Rugby Now is thrilled to announce its Invitational International Women’s Squad for Dubai 7s 2018 sponsored by The Canvas Hotel Dubai – MGallery by Sofitel (“The Canvas Hotel”) and Find Rugby Now (“FRN”).

The experienced side includes internationally capped players from England, Scotland, The Netherlands, Norway and Uganda and combines a wealth of player experience competing on the sevens circuit.

The Tournament is being held 28 November – 2 December at the Sevens Stadium in Dubai and this will be the second time that the Find Rugby Now 7s team will be competing at Dubai 7s having reached the semi-finals stage of the International Open in 2017.

The team is thrilled to be sponsored by the Canvas Hotel, a 5-star hotel located in Bur Dubai, only 30 minutes from the Sevens Stadium and in close proximity of Port Rashid. The hotel features a roof side swimming pool, gym and spa, which the FRN players will be taking full advantage of between matches (including massages, which will be well needed after busy tournament days).

The team will also have the privilege to taste the delights at the two hotel restaurants and themed bars including Estrellas Skyline Lounge, Alfonso X Sushi & Cigar Lounge and Quantum Sports Bar, which the team look forward to enjoying after the end of the tournament.
