Dubai Schools World Cup 2012

Gullivers is delighted to bring to you our inaugural Dubai Schools World Cup, an under 18 rugby, netball and football tournament scheduled for December 2012.

This unique event will attract schools from countries such as Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Argentina and Canada, as well as from the UK and UAE. The tournament, played over three days, will take place at the newly built 'The Sevens‘ venue, home to the annual Dubai Rugby Sevens.

Dubai is the perfect choice for an international sporting event, with its world-class sporting facilities and central global location (just a six hour flight from the UK), as well as countless sightseeing to enjoy besides the sport.

For an unforgettable tour, join us in Dubai for our Schools World Cup, where you can play international matches, spend time enjoying Dubai's tourist attractions and making new friends. The week will culminate in our exclusive end of tournament presentation and party in the desert.
