Sri Lanka’s premier connectivity provider, Dialog Axiata PLC, continues its commitment to power the game of rugby, one of Sri Lanka’s most followed sports as the title sponsor of the combined leg of the Asia Rugby Sevens Series which will be played in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, on the 19th and 20th of November 2021.
From 2015 onwards, Dialog Axiata has sponsored the Sri Lankan leg of the Asia Rugby Sevens Series tourney which was traditionally played at the Racecourse Grounds, Colombo. The Sri Lankan leg of the Asia Rugby Sevens Series was last played at Colombo in 2019 and wasn’t played ever since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. Hence the Asia Rugby Sevens Series 2021 to be hosted in Dubai, will be a culmination of the traditional three legs of the tournament played across Asia to qualify for the World Cup.

Hon. Namal Rajapaksa MP, Minister of Youth and Sports said, “I am indeed pleased that a Sri Lankan company has come forth as the title sponsor of a tournament of such a caliber as the Asia Rugby Sevens Series 2021. I take this opportunity to wish Asia Rugby, its title sponsor Dialog Axiata and our very own Tuskers the very best as they prepare to kick off this tourney.”
