Cape Town has been confirmed as one of the eight iconic destinations that comprise SVNS, World Rugby’s revamped and rebranded sevens series.
Cape Town has been retained as a host on the re-imagined series, with 620,000 supporters attending the past six tournaments in the Mother City, making it one of the best-attended live events in South Africa.
Following consultation with players, fans, broadcasters and unions, the competition format has been revamped to deliver more excitement and jeopardy. The top eight placed teams, based on cumulative series points at the conclusion of the penultimate tournament in Singapore, will secure their opportunity to compete in the new ‘winner takes all’ Grand Final in Madrid, where the women’s and men’s champions will be crowned.
The SVNS will start in Dubai on 2 December 2023, before moving to Cape Town on 9 and 10 December. Perth, Vancouver, Los Angeles, Hong Kong, Singapore and Madrid will also host tournaments in 2024. All seven rounds and the Grand Final will feature combined men’s and women’s competitions and equal participation fees.Cape Town, South Africa – 9-10 December, 2023Los Angeles, USA – 2-3 March, 2024Madrid, Spain – 31 May-2 June, 2024
