KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 7 (Bernama) -- Sixteen of the world’s top rugby sevens teams has battled it out for one of world rugby’s most coveted crowns, the Hong Kong Sevens Cup, from Nov 4 to 6 at Hong Kong Stadium.
The sports extravaganza is only being held in Hong Kong for the first time since 2019.
It also opened the 2022/23 HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series to the thundering cheers of over 30,000 fans in the stadium.
Hong Kong Tourism Board Executive Director, Dane Cheng, said in a statement: “The Hong Kong Sevens has been a flagship sports event in Hong Kong for almost half a century. We are extremely excited to welcome the return of this world-class sports event after a two-year hiatus.”
With the theme “Our HK7s”, local fans are cheering on their hometown heroes, Hong Kong, as they battle champions like Australia, New Zealand, Great Britain, France, Fiji, USA and Samoa.
The long-awaited rugby fiesta is filled with an exhilarating atmosphere, with spectators enjoying live music and entertainment.
A double measure of sevens is in store for the fans, with the World Series returning to Hong Kong again in April 2023, including a full edition of the World Rugby Women’s Sevens Series for the first time ever.
