The Emirates Dubai 7s, part of the HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series, has announced a partnership with Nakheel Community Management as the Presenting Partner for the Netball Tournament taking place on the 1st – 3rd December 2022.

Emirates Dubai 7s: Netball presented by Nakheel Community Management will see numerous netball divisions compete on four courts at The Sevens Stadium. The five-year collaboration is part of Nakheel Community Management’s community-centric vision of creating well-rounded experiences for its residents and promoting a healthy lifestyle through sports.

In addition, Nakheel Community Management will become the Presenting Partner of the Emirates Dubai 7s Youth Netball Tournament for Under 11, Under 13 and Under 15 girls which takes place on  Friday, October 14th and Friday, October 28th, with the finals of that event taking place in front of packed crowds at the Emirates Dubai 7s in December.

The partnership with Nakheel Community Management is part of a wider campaign to champion bringing netball to Nakheel’s communities, with a host of upcoming training sessions, tournaments and events for all ages and abilities. This will also include the building of a dedicated multi-sports courts hub in Jumeirah Village Circle.

“Our partnership with Emirates Dubai 7s underscores our commitment to making Nakheel’s communities the best place to live in Dubai. The wellbeing of our communities is a top priority, and through this collaboration we look forward to driving engagement and promoting healthy lifestyles among our residents”, said Francis Giani, Chief Community Management Officer at Nakheel.

“We are delighted to welcome Nakheel Community Management as the Netball Tournament’s Presenting Partner. This well-loved competition has grown exponentially since its inception in 2015 and has become both a fan favourite and a real asset to the overall Emirates Dubai 7s Festival. We have expanded this year to add Women’s Social and Mixed Netball to our competitive adult and youth Tournaments which demonstrates Netball’s expanding role in the sporting and wider community. As such, we couldn’t wish for a better partner than Nakheel Community Management,” said Simon Jelowitz, Head of Sport Operations at Emirates Dubai 7s.
