[香港，2025年2月27日]：「2025年國泰/滙豐香港國際七人欖球賽」的門票持有人不僅可以在3月28日至30日期間，享受在全新的啟德主場館觀看「香港七欖」的難忘體驗，還可以同時到訪由啟德體育園東面的多用途活動區域改造的首個香港七欖球迷村。
如果在嶄新的新主場內觀看超過70場世界級欖球賽事，以及欣賞Kaiser Chiefs 樂隊、英國著名DJ Pete Tong、意大利音樂人GALA 等現場音樂表演還不夠過癮的話，持票人士還可以前往七欖球迷村，參加更多有趣活動。
佔地7,800平方尺的球迷村是一個優質、休閒的戶外多功能空間，是聯合冠名贊助商國泰航空和滙豐銀行等合作夥伴舉辦球迷體驗活動的場地。這個適合合家歡參與的球迷村還設有兒童專區，配置巨型充氣的遊玩設施，而中國香港欖球總會（「欖總」）也將在此舉辦不同的社區體育活動。此外，在場館內超過30個餐飲零售設施以外，七欖球迷村內還設有多個餐飲攤位，包括三個花園茶座和賽事官方啤酒嘉士伯的招牌酒吧。
七欖球迷村將於3月28日至30日期間每天從比賽開始至晚上11 時開放。球迷村內設有舒適豆袋，所有比賽也將在大螢幕上作現場直播，球迷也不會錯過球場上的任何一個精彩時刻，
一連三日，共15支本地樂隊和六位不同風格的DJ 將在七欖球迷村的舞台演出，勢必將香港最大型的週末派對氣氛推至新高峰。音樂表演陣容包括一些曾在香港大球場表演過的Red Stripe、Helium 3 和香港欖球界熟悉的DJ Ben Cullen。屆時，演藝人員、贊助商和賽事吉祥物均會不時亮相，與觀眾互動；加上面部彩繪和舞台表演，首個在啟德主場館舉行的「香港七欖」將無間斷地為入場觀眾提供娛樂節目，增添七欖盛會的狂熱氣氛。
此外，七欖球迷村還將舉辦多項欖總及社區合作夥伴的活動，包括「「賽馬會欖球齊起動計劃 - 一『欖』雄心」」、「滙豐欖球體驗計劃」、「國泰航空保良局挑戰。欖。求計劃」，以及官方慈善合作夥伴「勞倫斯體育公益基金會」和世界七人欖球系列賽慈善夥伴「ChildFund」所舉辦的活動。
最近宣布成為「國泰/滙豐香港國際七人欖球賽」的官方商品合作夥伴的Castore將於賽事期間推出其零售體驗，包括在七欖球迷村開設實體店。觀眾將有機會購買全新的世界級Castore 產品，包括球迷版球衣、傳統的欖球球衣、高性能訓練運動服、全新「香港七欖」系列的休閒服、以及充滿活力的南看台系列服裝。
球迷還可以與喜愛的球隊球員合照和索取簽名，包括預先安排的球隊見面會，包括中國香港男、女子七人欖球代表隊等。球迷還可以與香港國際七人欖球賽賽事大使，以及一些欖球界的傳奇人物進行交流。
如果沒有世界最知名的七人欖球名將、斐濟的撒力菲（Waisale Serevi），香港國際七人欖球賽的周末就會不夠完整。
這位被稱為「小魔術師」的名將曾在香港出戰不下16次，也曾多次在其他場合執教。他將再次回到這項由他助推成名的賽事。今年，這個賽事將從全球斐濟人所熟知的「快活谷」移師到香港維多利亞港對岸。
同樣，如果沒有跟斐濟傳奇相匹配的新西蘭對手，那就說不上是國際七人欖球賽了。香港國際七人欖球賽很高興再次邀請到前新西蘭七人欖球隊隊長及奧運代表科比斯（DJ Forbes）的回歸。科比斯曾為新西蘭七人欖球隊出戰450場比賽，並以令人難以置信的153次達陣成為新西蘭七人欖球隊史上第二位達陣王。2008年，科比斯獲世界欖球總會頒發國際七人欖球年度最佳球員大獎，以及三奪新西蘭年度最佳七人欖球員獎。
女子七人欖球同樣精彩，英國七人欖球奧運代表隊成員兼列斯特老虎隊球星昆莎（Cecilia Quansah）及新西蘭七人欖球及15人欖球聯盟國際代表、2023國際七人欖球年度最佳球員京治（Tyla King），將首次擔任香港國際七人欖球賽賽事大使。
今年，一些15人欖球名宿亦將現身啟德，包括前世界15人欖球年度最佳球員及2007世界盃冠軍功臣、代表南非的柏加（Schalk Burger），他將作為勞倫斯體育公益活動的一部份來到香港。
與柏加一同出席的還有兩位來自英格蘭本土聯盟的前國手，分別是前蘇格蘭國際級球員「大占」咸美頓（Jim Hamilton）和前英格蘭飛鋒高迪（Andy Goode）。兩位中國香港欖球傳奇鄭家慈及姚錦成亦將擔任賽事大使。
「2025年國泰/滙豐香港國際七人欖球賽」將提供一連三日世界級欖球賽事、餐飲美饌、音樂及精彩娛樂節目，同時也是為啟德主場館打響頭炮的開幕盛事。今年三月的「國泰/ 滙豐香港國際七人欖球賽」是欖球迷和音樂愛好者不能錯過的盛事。

[Hong Kong, 27 February 2025]: Ticketholders of the Cathay/HSBC Hong Kong Sevens 2025 will not only enjoy a literal once-in-a-lifetime experience of watching the first ever Hong Kong Sevens at the new Kai Tak Stadium from 28-30 March 2025, they can also experience the transformation of Kai Tak Sports Park’s East Village area into a brand-new Fan Village.
As if over 70 world-class rugby sevens matches, and live musical performances from the Kaiser Chiefs, DJ Pete Tong, GALA and more inside Hong Kong’s state-of-the-art new stadium wasn’t enough, ticketholders can also visit the Fan Village for even more fun activities.
The 7,800-square foot attraction is a premium and relaxing open-air multi-use space that will be home to fan experience activations from co-title sponsors Cathay and HSBC among other partners. The family-friendly area will also have a dedicated kids zone complete with giant inflatables, alongside Hong Kong China Rugby (HKCR) community and sports activities. Food and beverage stands will also be on offer, including three garden lounges and the signature bar of the tournament’s official beer Carlsberg, on top of over 30 concession stands that will operate inside the stadium over Sevens weekend.
The Fan Village will be operational from that start of play to 11PM each day from 28-30 March. Fans won’t miss a second of the action on the pitch either, with beanbag seating and all matches shown live on the big screen inside the Village.
The party atmosphere will hit a new level at the Village with a calendar full of bands and DJs keeping the hits coming across the weekend.
The stage inside the Village will see 15 local bands and six different DJ acts entertaining the crowd over Hong Kong’s biggest party weekend, including some performers who have entertained the crowd in the old stadium like Red Stripes, Helium 3 and Hong Kong’s rugby DJ Ben Cullen. Roaming entertainers and sponsor and tournament mascots, join face painting and stage performances in adding to the spectacle and non-stop enjoyment.
The Village will also be home to several HKCR and event community partnership activations with the Hong Kong Jockey Club’s All About Rugby programme, HSBC’s Try Rugby, Cathay’s Po Leung Kuk Tackling Life, and activities by official charity partner Laureus Sport for Good alongside World Rugby series charity partner ChildFund.
Castore, the recently announced official merchandise partner of the Cathay/HSBC Hong Kong Sevens, will debut their retail experience over the weekend, including a flagship store in the Village. Attendees will be able to get their hands on the new world-class Castore range, including replicas, traditional rugby jerseys, performance training wear and a brand-new official Hong Kong Sevens range, as well as a lively South Stand collection.
Fans will be able to grab autographs and selfies with the stars in the Village, including pre-arranged meet and greets with teams, including Hong Kong China men’s and women’s 7s. They will also get a chance to connect some of Hong Kong China Rugby’s Hong Kong Sevens ambassadors, including some of the true legends of the game.
It simply wouldn’t be a Hong Kong Sevens weekend without the presence of the world’s most famous sevens player, Fiji’s Waisale Serevi.
The ‘little magician’ played in Hong Kong no fewer than 16 times, as well as coaching here on a handful of other occasions. He will once again return to the tournament he helped make famous as it moves homes across Hong Kong’s Victoria Harbour from the place Fijians worldwide know as Happy Valley.
It also wouldn’t be a Sevens without a Kiwi counterpart to that Fijian flair, and the Hong Kong Sevens is delighted to once again welcome back former New Zealand Sevens captain and Olympian DJ Forbes. Forbes played 450 matches for New Zealand Sevens, notching an incredible 153 tries to become New Zealand Sevens’ second all-time scoring leader. He was the World Rugby International Sevens Player of the Year in 2008 and a 3-time winner of New Zealand’s Rugby Sevens Player of the Year Award.
The women’s game is not ignored either, with ambassadors including Team GB Olympian and Leicester Tigers star Cecilia Quansah and New Zealand’s dual-code sevens and rugby league international Tyla King, 2023 World Rugby Sevens Player of the Year, both making their Hong Kong Sevens ambassadorial debuts.
Some of the legends of the fifteens game will also be at Kai Tak this year in former World Rugby Player of the Year and 2007 Rugby World Cup winner for South Africa, Schalk Burger, in Hong Kong as part of the Laureus Sport for Good programme.
Joining him are two ex-internationals from the Home Unions in former Scotland international “Big” Jim Hamilton and former England fly half Andy Goode. Two of Hong Kong China’s rugby legends are also engaged as event ambassadors in Christy Cheng Ka-chi and Salom Yiu Kam-shing.
With the Cathay/HSBC Hong Kong Sevens offering its usual array of rocking rugby, food, drink and music across three unforgettable days – not to mention serving as the opening act at Kai Tak – an unmissable weekend is in store for rugby fans and music lovers this March.
