HSBC Rugby SVNS Back In Vancouver In 2024
The City of Vancouver has been announced as one of eight global destinations for HSBC SVNS, the reimagined and rebranded international celebration of rugby sevens by World Rugby.
The event is set to take place from February 23-25, 2024, at BC Place Stadium on the traditional territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. This marks the 10th consecutive year that a premier sevens rugby event will be hosted in Canada.
For the second year, Vancouver will host a fully integrated women’s and men’s tournament, featuring three days of fast-paced sevens action, lively fan experiences, and the ultimate sports atmosphere. Fans will have the chance to cheer on Canada’s national teams as they compete on home soil.
“Rugby Canada is excited to continue our annual tradition of hosting an international sevens event in Vancouver,” said Nathan Bombrys, Rugby Canada CEO. “This tournament celebrates our sport and helps to grow the game, providing an opportunity for our Canadian national team players to inspire girls and boys across the country. We are grateful for the support of Sport Hosting Vancouver, the Province of British Columbia, the Government of Canada, our incredible sponsors and World Rugby, as well as our dedicated fanbase that brings a uniquely electric atmosphere to BC Place.”
“Events like this play a powerful role in contributing to the vibrancy of our communities and bring great opportunities for businesses and people in the tourism industry,” said Lana Popham, Minister of Tourism, Arts, Culture and Sport. “B.C. has a remarkable reputation as a global destination for sport hosting and it’s so exciting to be able to welcome the HSBC Vancouver SVNS players, coaches and fans to BC Place again in 2024.”
“We are excited to once again host the HSBC Rugby Sevens combined women’s and men’s tournament,” said Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim. “This is a great opportunity for our city to showcase our passion for rugby and our hospitality to the world. I look forward to cheering our Canadian teams on as they score some amazing tries in front of their home crowd!”
World Rugby’s HSBC SVNS series is designed to deliver a unique blend of sport, entertainment, and culture, set against iconic global backdrops. Launching in December 2023, all eight festivals will feature 12 women’s and 12 men’s teams, providing an unparalleled experience for fans.
Details about the 2024 HSBC Vancouver SVNS, including ticket information, will be shared in the coming months. Tickets are expected to go on sale in the fall. Fans can stay informed by signing up for updates at canadasevens.com.
