Once again the DHL Barbarians will be vying for the trophy when they take on Bahrain Select during DHL’s annual memorial rugby match. Currently in its eighth year, DHL’s annual memorial game pays tribute to the DHL colleagues who sadly lost their lives whilst working in Kabul, Afghanistan in 2008.

To honor their memory, members of DHL’s rugby team from across the world have been flying into Bahrain every year since 2009, to take part in the match and help raise funds in support of local charities. All donations generated during the 2017 event will be distributed to the RIA School for Autistic Children, the BSPCA, the Bahrain Red Crescent Society, The Christian Cemetery in Salmabad and Bahrain’s very own Dog Father who runs a rescue shelter for animals.

Initiatives of this nature stand testament to the Company’s core value system. The DHL family is a close-knit unit bound by the same philosophy; everyone shares the same passion and dedication for giving back to the communities which house them.

The DHL memorial rugby match will kick off on Thursday 4th May at the Bahrain Rugby Club in Saar at 6:45pm. This year, the event will also feature a DHL-sponsored Junior Memorial Match for the under-8s and under-14s which will run from 5-6pm on the same day and act as the curtain raiser to the main game.
