The event
Rugby’s Best Weekend.
Every sevens player wants to win Hong Kong. Founded in 1976 and now the first leg of the HSBC SVNS World Championship, it is the tournament the rest of the series measures itself against, with the world’s leading men’s and women’s teams on the same three-day bill.
Since 2025 the Sevens has lived at Kai Tak Stadium: 50,000 seats, a soundproof retractable roof, in-stadium cooling and a Fan Village open until 10.30 pm, ten minutes’ walk from two MTR stations. The South Stand remains the South Stand.
From the UAE it is a long weekend: overnight flights out, three days of rugby and the city, and home for Monday. ES Sport arranges the tickets, the hospitality, the flights and the hotel as one booking.
What makes Hong Kong different from every other stop on the series.
✓The opening leg of the HSBC SVNS World Championship, so every side arrives with something to prove
✓Men’s and women’s tournaments on the same three days, 64 matches across the weekend
✓Kai Tak Stadium: 50,000 seats, retractable roof, cooling and a Fan Village until 10.30 pm
✓The South Stand, the most famous crowd in sevens rugby
✓The city: Victoria Harbour, the Peak, Kowloon dining, all within thirty minutes of the ground
✓One booking from the UAE: flights, hotel, transfers and seats together, through ES Sport
