Philadelphia Olando

UAE Rugby signs a contract with Rio & Tokyo Olympian Rugby Coach

18 February, 2022 in World Flair by Asia Rugby

United Arab Emirates Rugby Federation signs a contract with the Kenyan Rugby Olympian Philadelphia Olando an Olympic participant for both Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020, Olando enjoys strong rugby profile and is believed to be very competent to lead the local full-Emirati women’s teams in UAE.

This comes after careful consideration and planning to raise the women’s rugby sport by introducing our Emirati women’s teams to competitive experience that should aid their development and solidify their rugby skillsets.

It’s worth noting too that, the UAE Senior National Women’s team secured their first position in the West Asian tournament back in October last year, which took place in Doha, Qatar.

The UAE Rugby Secretary-General, Mohamed AlZaabi said “we are very pleased to welcome Philadelphia to the team which comes in alignment with the UAE Rugby’s planning to invest in the regional & Arab competitions in the near future, surely expanding our women’s players base”

Philadelphia added “it’s an immense responsibility that I’m very keen to take it on, I’m looking forward to bringing the best ever I can, given my Rugby World Cup experience as a player and Olympian, that too gives me great push forward”
