Although born in the United Kingdom, rugby is nowadays one of the most followed sports in the world. It is in the British Isles where Rugby has more adepts, but in the rest of Europe, America and Australia, is also a discipline with great competitions. It is played with two teams of 15 players, but in countries like Spain is very popular the rugby 7, a version with only 7 players per team. Fellowship, respect, equality and fraternity are some of the values that make rugby such a special sport.

If on August 5 you are encouraged to witness the Seven Beach Tournament in Alicante, you will be able to see in person the famous ‘Third Time’, the moment in which the players of the two opposing teams fraternize drinking and eating together, after the game, by invitation from the local team. Live Alicante to the fullest!
