Rugby’s Biggest Party Set to Shatter Sevens Attendance Records

The Cathay/HSBC Hong Kong Sevens 2025 is coming up fast, and it’s looking to break the record. A packed, brand-new Kai Tak Stadium is expected to welcome over 120,000 fans from March 28–30, with many already securing their spots. This event, almost half a century in the making, has generated excitement as the prospect of one of the most memorable editions ever looms large.

Rugby titans like New Zealand, Australia, and Argentina are all set to battle it out for the top honors. These teams are not just chasing wins; they are scrambling for the crucial points needed ahead of the HSBC SVNS World Championship in Los Angeles.

Meanwhile, Hong Kong China Rugby is pulling out all the stops to ensure an unforgettable experience, with an all-new Fan Village, live performances from international artists, and a massive pyrotechnic display set to light up the final night.

Speaking about the tournament’s prestige through the official website, New Zealand women’s captain Sarah Hirini expressed her excitement, saying, “For us, Hong Kong is the home of sevens… it feels pretty surreal to be here, and we’re especially proud to be the first to play here.”

Spain’s men’s skipper, Pol Pla, who is marking his 50th Series event, remarked, “We can feel the energy from the stadium and the South Stand crowd, and we love it.”

With rugby’s biggest names ready to take center stage, a brand-new stadium, and an unparalleled fan experience, this year’s Hong Kong Sevens is shaping up to be the ultimate rugby festival, promising to make history.
