This will be the first time an RWC event has been staged in South Africa since the famous 1995 RWC.

“Rugby World Cup in South Africa created one of the most iconic images the game has ever known,” World Rugby Chairman Sir Bill Beaumont said.

“Now for the first time since that unforgettable day in 1995, we are delighted to be staging another Rugby World Cup back in the rainbow nation as rugby sevens comes to Cape Town with 40 teams from all corners of the world in action.

“Fans can expect to see the best men’s and women’s players, playing exciting, highly skilled, fast paced rugby sevens with all the jeopardy of the knockout format, where every game counts. This weekend players and supporters will create memories that once again shape our sport for years to come.

“Since gaining Olympic status rugby sevens continues to grow and entertain new fans around the globe. Played in a full, iconic stadium with a festive atmosphere, Rugby World Cup Sevens 2022 will be the perfect showcase for everything this vibrant sport has to offer.”
