A chance to play friendly rugby in Doha ?

Hi everyone,

Is there any place where I could play rugby, or touch rugby or any rugby related activities ? I heard about the Rugby Club here in Doha, but I'm not interested by competition, just want to enjoy a little game with friends once a week for example...

Maybe they offer this, but I can't see it on their website !

Let me know

They train for touch, I think it's on Mondays but not sure.

Best thing is to go there and ask.

From Ramada, take Salwa Road heading to Saudi. Pass over Midmac Flyover and at Decoration roundabout turn right. Take second right - you need to get in service road for this, then first right. Rugby club is the brown door in the corner.

Club is still open for foreseeable future :o)

Any organized touch avail. Is training still on and if so when and where, as I heard they were going to close down the club in Doha.

The Doha Rugby Football Centre [DRFC] is the place to go to. They offer all aspects of rugby that you mentioned and are looking for - front touch to womens' rugby to minis to "serious" rugby. Something for everyone. And let's not forget the Vet's rugby as well. Although the season is over, touch still continues. Hope to see you there.

You might as well join the Rugby Club, and just turn up in trainings, avoiding playing in official matches. Mind you, Doha RFC play friendlies too, e.g. against teams of British Navy ships that come over to Qatar.
