World Rugby has announced that Cape Town in South Africa will be one of the host cities for the HSBC SVNS 2023/24, the revamped and rebranded global celebration of rugby sevens taking place across eight iconic cities. The HSBC SVNS festivals will feature 12 men's and women's teams chasing the ultimate prize, while also providing fans with a unique festival of sport, music, food and immersive experiences. Cape Town is set to reignite its love affair with the series on 09 and 10 December 2023 when the Cape Town Sevens makes its return to the DHL Stadium in Green Point.

"Cape Town's inclusion in the remodelled Sevens Series is a massive feather in our cap. Cape Town Sevens has been one of the flagship events hosted in our city for nearly a decade, has proven a popular event with record attendance every single year and provides the best live experience for spectators. The City of Cape Town has been supporting the event since it moved from Gqeberha to Cape Town and we are looking forward to continue our partnership with the organisers to ensure an exciting experience for spectators," said the City's Mayoral Committee Member for Safety and Security Alderman JP Smith.
Launching in December 2023, HSBC SVNS festivals will provide the annual platform for the world’s best sevens athletes to shine with 12 men’s and women’s teams sharing a global stage at the same location.
