Organisers have confirmed that Singapore will welcome the world’s top rugby sevens players from 16 teams to the National Stadium at Singapore Sports Hub. The Singapore leg is the fifth of nine tournaments in the men’s HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series 2022, which started with two events in Dubai in November and December 2021.

Organisers are working closely with the relevant authorities to stage the event safely in accordance with Singapore’s prevailing safe management measures (SMM). More details on SMMs and ticketing will be announced.
Doug Langley, HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series Director said: “We are delighted to be returning to the National Stadium in Singapore for what promises to be a very exciting round of the HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series 2022 with the scheduled return to Series action of Olympic Champions Fiji and 2020 Series title winners New Zealand.

“HSBC Singapore Rugby Sevens has grown to be a crowd favourite over the years and we are excited that this marquee event is returning to Singapore’s shores after a hiatus due to the pandemic.

Spectators to the HSBC Singapore Rugby Sevens can expect yet another year of thrilling action on the field. The Singapore leg has previously featured some of the most memorable moments in the Series.
Underdog teams Kenya and Canada won the 2016 and 2017 Singapore titles respectively, while 2018 concluded in dramatic fashion when Fiji triumphed over Australia by the slimmest of margins in what will be remembered as one of the great Sevens matches. At the last edition of the event in 2019, South Africa edged out Fiji 20-19 in a remarkable comeback victory to clinch its first-ever HSBC Singapore Rugby Sevens title.
