What would the pioneers of the Dubai Sevens have made of it now? They would have at least known all about grime, although perhaps not in the 2024 sense of the word.

When the Middle East’s longest running annual sports event started back in 1970, in the year before the formation of the UAE, the majority of players were British servicemen. Supporters at the invitational sevens tournament in the desert sat in the backs of lorries, or stood on the touchline.

Players arrived ready dressed, given the lack of changing facilities. Before the final, a Land Rover would be driven up and down the pitch to smooth it out and the lines were remarked using lime powder.

The tournament was played on sand up until 1995. Some players would wear high-topped basketball shoes to try to limit the amount of sand that could get inside. Others played barefoot. Knee protectors were de rigueur. And iodine was liberally applied to prevent infections from the grime that would get into cuts and scrapes.

How times change. This weekend, the thousands of players involved – from as disparate origins as Ukraine, Israel, Georgia and Monaco – will have the run of immaculately kept grass fields. And the weekend will culminate with a performance from a multi-award-winning grime artist.

But the cast for this weekend as a whole is unparalleled. Stormzy will be on the main stage on Pitch 8, shortly after the Men’s World Series final has concluded on Pitch 1 on Sunday evening. The Sugababes and Artful Dodger will also be performing during the weekend.

The evidence of how far the event has spread from its roots 54 years ago is everywhere. There will be participants from 128 countries across five sports: rugby sevens, netball, cricket, fitness, and padel. Last year’s Sevens hosted more than 6,000 players and 560 teams.

The cricket tournament will include a match between teams bearing the names of the official supporters clubs of England and India – the Barmy Army and the Bharat Army, respectively. Dinesh Karthik, the former India star, will presumably have a keen interest in that fixture in particular, given his role as the cricket tournament’s official ambassador.

Despite all the changes, sevens rugby remains the main pillar of the event – and yet even that has transformed in recent times.

Back in 1999, when the newly created world sevens series started in Dubai, New Zealand were more or less unrivalled. Fiji were regarded as the most talented side. And England were regular contenders. In the most recent season, New Zealand finished third, Fiji were seventh, while England do not even have a team any more.sadsadsa
