The men's rugby team of 15 players will play a friendly match against the national team of Germany, which occupies 32nd place in the world ranking and is among the top 5 teams in Europe. The match will take place on Saturday at the Dubai Sevens stadium as part of the preparation for the qualifying match of the 2027 Rugby World Cup in Australia. In June of this year, the national team of the United Arab Emirates will play their first match against Hong Kong at their home ground, and then will travel to visit South Korea, and also play against the winner of the Malaysia-Shri-Lanka pair.
The national team of Germany arrived in Dubai on Wednesday evening and held two days of training at the stadium where the match will take place, accepting the invitation of the UAE Rugby to join the series of friendly matches organized by the International Rugby Federation. It is expected that a meeting with a strong sparring partner will help our team to test their strengths before the start of important qualifying games.
