The Istanbul Ottomans R.F.C. is the first Rugby Union club formed after the clubs were closed down during the first World War. The Ottomans have great experience with playing against international teams, among which winning the Sofia 7s tournament in 2002. Also, the match against the ANZAC Rugby team which resulted in a 0-0 after 80 full minutes should not go unmentioned. The Istanbul Ottomans R.F.C. did beat in last year's Istanbul Rugby Sevens tournament its Turkish opponents, including the Turkish National Selection, and became third after the National Team of India and the Dubai Frogs.

International Ottoman Sevens - INT (Confirmed their registration)
The International Ottoman7s is an invitational Rugby Sevens team that was found in 2007 as a spin-off of the Istanbul Ottomans R.F.C. The main aim of this Sevens team is two-fold: to promote Rugby to the Turkish citizens, and to promote Turkish Rugby to the international Rugby community by participating in – and of course winning – large international Rugby Sevens tournaments. Since the year of foundation the Ottoman7s were able to raise their Turkish flag with the large Dutch Ameland Beach Rugby Festival, for which the team existed largely of Dutch national team players. They aim to do the same in their “home ground” in Istanbul, by bringing in players of the German National team – including two of Turkish descent: Mustafa Güngör and Timur Tekkal.


Türk Gücü - TUR (Confirmed their registration)
The Türk Gücü is a selection of the best players playing in Turkey. We are sure that they will be challenging the topfavorites of the tournament, as they have last year at Istanbul Rugby Sevens by collecting the Dead Duck Trophy. This is their second appearance at an international rugby tournament against teams that are not unbeatable, and they will learn a lot along the way. They are here to show that experience is not everything, and that the will-power of the Turks is inexhaustible.
