World Rugby announced on Tuesday (May 31) that the HSBC Sevens tournament would return to Cape Town after a two-year hiatus.
The tournament will be played over the weekend of December 9-11, with Cape Town’s DHL Stadium hosting the world’s best male and female Sevens rugby players.
“It is fantastic to see renowned international events such as this return to the Mother City. Not only is the economic boost that results from events like this crucial for our post-COVID economic recovery, but this also reinforces Cape Town’s status as an international events destination,” said Cape Town Mayor, Geordin Hill-Lewis.
The Mayor has called on government to drop all remaining capacity limits and allow full stadiums for large sporting events like the HSBC Sevens tournament.
