HSBC Sevens Tournament, Scheduled for 2024
Get ready for an action-packed 2024 in the world of rugby, with the shorter format offering excitement galore! The HSBC SVNS 2024 kicks off in December 2023, as South Africa and Australia continue their dominance in the desert.
So, let's take a closer look at what's in store for the HSBC 7s in 2024. This season brings a refreshed layout, with the men's and women's champions not being crowned until the conclusion of the competition in Madrid in June.
The top eight teams in both rankings after seven rounds are divided into redesigned groups of four, culminating in a grand final at the Civitas Metropolitano Stadium. Teams from the World Rugby Sevens Challenger Series 2024, ranked ninth through twelfth, will compete in a separate eight-team tournament to secure their SVNS status.
Through events composing a group stage and a round of play-off matches, four men's and four women's teams will confirmed their spots in the SVNS 2025. The competition starts in Dubai on January 12 and continues in stops such as Vancouver, Los Angeles, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Madrid, with the remaining events leading up to the finale in Madrid.
As the competition heats up, keep an eye on the thrilling rugby sevens action, alongside world-class live music, DJs, food, and drink at every round. The entertainment promises to be just as thrilling off the pitch.
Looking further ahead, 2024 not only offers the HSBC SVNS 7s but also the excitement of the Paris Olympics. Most of the 24 teams vying for the title in the HSBC SVNS will also strive for glory in July at the Stade de France. The final determination for the remaining spots is scheduled in Monaco in June 2024.
In the men's repechage, South Africa, the Rio 2016 bronze medalists, and Emirates Dubai 7s champions, will lead an impressive line-up, including SVNS rivals Canada, Great Britain, and Spain.
France, the host nation, has high hopes of winning medals in both the men's and women's competitions. Australian rugby star Michael Hooper aims for a spot in the Australian squad, while French star Antoine Dupont has dedicated himself to the campaign starting in February.
Meanwhile, the Australian women's team, who won women's gold in Rio 2016, is off to a strong start this season, having defeated the reigning Olympic champions, New Zealand, in the Dubai title match. Maddison Levi, a try-machine with a remarkable 2022 season, will lead Australia as they aim for a second Olympic gold medal.
