Beach Rugby Tournament in Agadir


For the last seven years, Agadir has hosted an International Beach Rugby event known as the Old Camel Tournament. This year's contest takes place on 18 and 19 June on the beautiful golden sands of Morocco's southern city.


The Agadir Sports Association, international and Moroccan participation, motivated volunteers and the local authorities will come together to host an exciting seven-a-side tournament for youngsters, amateurs and the serious guys.



The event was originally started by a group of five friends with a passion for the oval ball. They have started a school for young people to learn the gentleman's game.


It looks like the nightlife after a hot day on the sand is pretty good, too!
