After 30 thrilling years, this year’s edition marks the final
time the iconic tournament will be played at Hong Kong Stadium
before moving to the newly opened Kai Tak Sports Park in 2025.
What’s happening at the Cathay/HSBC
Hong Kong Sevens 2024
This year’s Cathay/HSBC Hong Kong Sevens promises another year
of rugby, entertainment, and parties. The three days of action will
include 74 world-class rugby matches featuring the world’s
best teams. The Melrose Claymores competition, introduced by Hong
Kong China Rugby this year, will showcase the top teams in Asian
sevens. As usual, there will be plenty of action before and after
the matches, including an impressive international performance
lineup and opening and closing ceremonies.
Beyond the Pitch: Catch the Action
Outside the Stadium
The celebrations will continue throughout the city at the
Central harborfront AIA Vitality Park, where fans can watch matches
on the big screen against one of the world’s most iconic skylines.
Apart from the livestreaming, there will be an incredible lineup of
bands and DJs to keep the party going.
Dress to Impress and Keep the Party
Going
There are plenty of other ways to make the most of the Seven’s
action, like buying a costume from Pottinger Street, the Mong Kok
Ladies Market, Sneaker Street, or the garment district in Sham Shui
Po to join the colorful array of characters in the lively South
Stand. For refuelling between matches, watch at a sports bar near
the stadium in Causeway Bay or Wan Chai; or head to an afterparty
in Lan Kwai Fong.
International rugby fans are invited to join the party one last
time this April to give the iconic Hong Kong Stadium the send-off
it deserves.
