Yalla is the most reliable source for UAE rugby news updates, fixtures and results, league tables and information on the local rugby clubs around the region.
I moved to the UAE in 2015, and had never played rugby before, but was looking for a new sport, and rugby was a great vehicle to develop new skills, as well as meet new people! Yalla rugby has been a great advocate for the women’s game, it is an awesome place to find all rugby news and updates in the UAE.
Great and easy to use website for looking up the latest league results. It’s a great tool for finding information about various clubs in the region along with information on general rugby news and updates in the region. Great for game day photos too.
