- Covid-19 restrictions will still be in place at Hong Kong Stadium, where a limit will be placed on capacity
- There are still plenty of questions to answer ahead of the return of city’s flagship sporting event
The Hong Kong Sevens is finally coming back in November, after officials at the “highest levels” gave it the go-ahead this week.
Fans are set to descend on So Kon Po in their droves for the first time since April 2019, with the pandemic having frustrated the Hong Kong Rugby Union’s efforts to stage the city’s flagship sporting event.
But even though the Sevens is back, Covid-19 restrictions will still be in place at Hong Kong Stadium over all three days of action – and there are plenty of questions still to answer three months out.
Here’s a rundown of everything we know so far about the return of the Hong Kong Sevens.
When does it take place?
The November 22 edition of the Hong Kong Sevens has been added as an additional 11th tournament at the start of the 2023 World Rugby Sevens Series.
