9th Annual Corporate Touch 6s Community Day
Friday November 6th, 2020
Al Habtoor Polo Club & Resort
About the Event
A popular day out for participating companies, their teams and supporters; spectators and families alike, the Corporate Touch 6s is a fun-filled community day with plenty to see and do.
It has grown from an 8 team tournament in 2012 to 32 teams which is testament to the accessibility of the game. Touch is a very easy game to learn which involves minimal contact so anyone can play, regardless of age, gender or ability. There is also a very well attended U7s Tag tournament that runs alongside the adult tournament.
The tournament aims to bring together businesses from across the region for some healthy corporate competition and does a good job of helping to shake off office inactivity too!
Teams
There are no barriers to entry when it comes to the game of Touch – it’s easy to learn, fun to play and great fitness. This tournament is strictly for employee based teams – a perfect team building opportunity AND we provide free training sessions in the lead up to the tournament! We have a maximum of 32 team slots open across the Men’s and Mixed tournament. We are also hopeful to run a ladies division this year, so please do get in touch if you have a group of ladies interested. We have some great offers on team entry to encourage females to get out on the pitch!
Entering your team also provides a fabulous platform for some good ole corporate exposure, media attention and supports corporate social responsibility initiatives. Not to mention it promotes employee health and wellness, team bonding and is just a really good day outside on some spectacular grass!
Community
Did someone say free family day out?! Enjoy all that’s on offer to make a casual and entertaining family day out set up on the stunning grassy fields of the Al Habtoor Polo Club. There is plenty of side line entertainment, live music and activities throughout the day for everyone to enjoy.
It’s free to enter, safe for kids and lots of F&B options including food trucks and live cooking stations. We suggest you gather your colleagues and their families and use this as your ready-made Corporate Family Day out.
So, what are you waiting for? Gather your colleagues and showcase your prowess on the pitches at the 9th annual Corporate Touch 6s Community Day, rescheduled to Friday November 6th 2020.

It was the first-time Deloitte participated and we were really pleased. The event ran very smoothly and the matches were played in a good spirit. We liked the 3 men and 3 women format for the mixed teams – makes for a very inclusive team and game.
Zurich have been the proud title sponsor of this event since it started in 2012. It’s been amazing to see how the quality and attendance of this event has grown and this is a true testament of it’s success and popularity.
Bask in the sun soaking up the atmosphere, or enter your company into the tournament for some fitness and a great laugh with your colleagues.
The event just gets better and better! A lot more teams, more people and the venue was fantastic.
Congratulations on a very well organized Corporate 6s: it’s inspiring to see the event go from strength to strength – just as it did in Hong Kong 20+ years ago. Clearly everyone was enjoying themselves, both on the pitch and in the various areas of shade, near the food and drinks stands and on the Terrace.
We’ve been involved for a good few years now but next year we will bring down some more family members to support – it is such a great family event with lots of entertainment for the kids. The after match celebrations was an excellent addition this year – a great day overall.
“What an amazing event for team bonding and some fun exercise. Kibsons loved being a part of the Zurich Corporate Touch 6’s as both a sponsor and a participating team. A fun day out for the whole family and very well organized.”
The extracurricular activities for the kids and grown ups are excellent. We also want to commend the referees. They were superb, better than last year as more experienced, and great feel for the game on how strict to be at the different levels of competition. Well done on a fantastic day out!
So excited to see the teams really enjoying themselves, on and off the pitch. Great sportsmanship, fantastic team spirit and companies really getting behind their staff in terms of setting themselves up for a fabulous corporate family day out. Thanks to all involved, especially our sponsors and teams!
“The CMS team had an awesome time at our first Zurich Corporate Touch 6s. It’s an amazing family day out, expertly organised and super fun, even if you have never really played the game before! Bring on next year :)”
Aetna has proudly sponsored and competed in Zurich Corporate Touch 6s two years in a row. This annual tournament has given our colleagues from varied backgrounds a chance to learn a new sport and meet other professionals during the practices. From the food and ambience, to the referees and logistics, the tournament was done very well this year – even with the surprise rain!
