Kandy Sports Club has been invited by the SLRFU to take part in the first ever Asia Rugby Western Clubs Champions League in Dubai. The winner of the league will be known on Friday the 18th of September. The winning club will be able to call themselves the Champion Rugby Club in the Western half of Asia until the following year.

The curtain raiser will be between Doha RFC and Abu Dhabi Saracens RFC on the 11th. Kandy SC will play Almaty RFC on 12th. 13th and 14th are rest days. 15th Abu Dhabi Saracens RFC vs Kandy SC. 16th and 17th rest and training. 18th Kandy SC vs Doha RFC game followed by the Asia Rugby official Trophy presentation and tournament dinner.
Asia Rugby will appoint a Tournament Director and a Match Commissioner for each game. They will also appoint referees and an Assistant Referee No.1 (who will be the Reserve Referee), and have invited the UAE Rugby Referees Society to appoint an Assistant Referee No.2 and the 4th & 5th Officials for each match.
They will also appoint Panel Citing Commissioners for each match and a Judicial Officer for the tournament.
