Record-breaking Cathay/HSBC Hong Kong Sevens 2025 set for Kick Off

［3 月 26 日]：2024/2025 年度滙豐 SVNS 世界七人欖球系列賽已準備落戶全新、可容納 50,000 個座位的啟德主場館。

下本賽事歷來觀眾人數的新高。全場觀眾可期待一個充滿音樂娛樂和連場激戰的七欖

週末。

法國隊於去年在主場奪得奧運金牌後，你是否也感受到比賽正經歷震撼性的變化呢？

男子組方面，阿根廷（系列賽暫累積 68 分）是本賽季的佼佼者，他們似乎已經找回長

期以來所缺乏的穩定性，以補足他們著名的華麗風格。

這一隊美洲雄獅氣勢如虹，接連在珀斯站（41:5 大勝澳洲）及溫哥華站（19:12 擊敗

南非）贏得盃賽冠軍。

在世界七人欖球系列賽排行榜中，阿根廷以 4 分領先次席的西班牙，而最令人驚訝的

組合，是同落後西班牙 2 分的傳統勁旅斐濟（在香港力爭第 20 個冠軍）和南非（令人

難以置信是這支球隊仍在尋求在香港的首場勝利）。

女子組方面，老對手新西蘭（系列賽暫累積 76 分）和澳洲（70 分）在比賽中再次交

鋒、互不相讓，新西蘭黑蕨隊（Black Ferns）女子七人欖球隊在溫哥華站（41:7 大勝

斐濟）奪得 2024/2025 世界七人欖球系列賽第二個冠軍，她們在本賽季還取得兩站亞

軍。

2024/2025 年度滙豐 SVNS 世界七人欖球系列賽還剩下三站比賽，香港新主場已蓄勢待

發。這座專為國際七人欖球賽而設的主場館擁有 20 個更衣室和重新設計的「南看台」，

[Hong Kong, 26 March 2025]: The 2024/25 HSBC SVNS Series has rolled into town for the

coronation of the sparkling-new 50,000-seat Kai Tak Stadium.

With the most tickets ever sold at over 130,000, a record crowd at the Cathay/HSBC Hong

Kong Sevens 2025 will be treated to a weekend of action-packed music, excitement – and of

Intrigue.

Are we witnessing a seismic shift in the game, following France’s sensational Olympic gold

on home soil last year?

On the men’s side of the equation, Argentina (68 points) are the season’s pacesetters and

have seemingly found the consistency that has been for so long the missing ingredient

needed to complement their famed flamboyant style.

Los Pumas arrive off of back-to-back tournament wins, following titles in Vancouver (beating

South Africa 19-12) and, before that, in Perth (beating Australia 41-5).

They hold a four-point series lead over second-placed Spain, the ultimate in surprise

packages, while two points further back sit customary powerhouses Fiji (gunning for a 20th

Hong Kong title) and South Africa (incredibly, still searching for a first win in Hong Kong).

Old foes New Zealand (76 points) and Australia (70 points) are at it again in the women’s

competition with the Black Ferns Sevens coming off their second tournament title for

2024/25 in Vancouver (41-7 over Fiji), to go with two second places this season.

With three rounds left, the 2024/25 HSBC SVNS is poised, delicately, and Hong Kong’s new

stadium, the house that Sevens built with 20 changing rooms and a re-imagined South Stand

as prominent architectural features, will open to fireworks – on and off pitch – with the title

still up for grabs.

For the record – new attendance mark expected for Cathay/HSBC Hong Kong Sevens

The Cathay/HSBC Hong Kong Sevens’ famed fanatical spectators will be ready, with ticket

sales pointing to the largest-ever crowd gathering for the inaugural staging of the

tournament at the Kai Tak Stadium – part of a HK$30 billion Kai Tak Sports Park that will

firmly establish Hong Kong as one of the world’s great sporting destinations.

An expected record three-day attendance of 139,000 will be here to party – and the people

at Hong Kong China Rugby (HKCR) have ensured they can do just that, with a jam-packed

schedule of entertainment to supplement all that action on the pitch.

The Hong Kong Tourism Board has declared “Hong Kong Super March” and the Cathay/HSBC

Hong Kong Sevens is doing its part to support – with international recording artists the

Kaiser Chiefs, DJ Pete Tong and Gala performing on an 18-metre-wide stage overlooking the

re-imagined South Stand at Kai Tak, and over 20 DJs, bands and dance troupes entertaining

over the weekend in the event’s all-new Fan Village.

“We are extremely proud to be staging the debut international sports event at the

magnificent Kai Tak Stadium, and in doing so marking another incredible milestone in the

decades-long association between the rugby world and the Cathay/HSBC Hong Kong

Sevens,” said Mr Chris Brooke, Chairman of organisers Hong Kong China Rugby.

“The Sevens was first held almost fifty years ago and has grown in stature due to the efforts

of many people over the years. As the custodians of the event, HKCR is now ready to host

Hong Kong’s most iconic sporting event within the city’s much anticipated, state-of-the-art

Kai Tak stadium. We feel very fortunate, via the hosting of the Sevens, to be able to help

strengthen the role of Hong Kong as one of the world’s most vibrant and accessible

destinations for major international events.

“It is fitting to note that, as we host one of the world’s great annual team sports events, this

day has come about purely through a concerted team effort – between HKCR, World Rugby,

Cathay and HSBC, Kai Tak Sports Park and the relevant Hong Kong government bodies. We

have been planning this event for more than five years and are looking forward to

showcasing the stadium and the Sevens to both local and international spectators and rugby

Fans.

“I am confident that the 2025 Cathay/HSBC Hong Kong Sevens will ring in the new stadium

in suitable Sevens style,” Mr Brooke added.

And while the champions of the game thrill the tens of thousands out on the pitch, The

Champion – one of the longest bars in Asia – will be serving it up inside the stadium, and

helping fans toast the launch of the new “Home of Rugby Sevens.”

“Hong Kong has always been the World Cup of the game,” said former New Zealand Sevens

captain and Sevens Hall of Famer DJ Forbes.

“As far as we were concerned, Hong Kong was the only one that we would watch, growing

up. I only knew Sevens as the Hong Kong Sevens. So being on that plane to come to Hong

Kong was always a highlight of the boys' careers. Any new stadium always brings a lot of

excitement. I'm sure everyone in the South Stand, in particular, will be doing their best to

make sure that the players feel that vibe and the energy.

“It's going to be a pretty, pretty massive three days,” Forbes added.

The Cathay/HSBC Hong Kong Sevens is proud of being an “M” Mark event that helps

enhance the image of Hong Kong as Asia’s sports event capital. The “M” Mark awarded by

the Major Sports Events Committee, symbolises intense, spectacular and signature events in

the territory’s sports calendar.
