The move to host a combined Women’s and Men’s Canada Sevens means the Vancouver tournament will be extended from its traditional two-day format to a three-day event. As such, fans will be provided flexible ticket options, giving them the opportunity to take in three days of intense, thrilling, world-class Rugby Sevens.
A full roster of teams for the 2023 season was also confirmed by World Rugby, meaning the likes of New Zealand, Australia, South Africa and Fiji are in line to compete in Vancouver next March. Ticket information will be released in the coming months.
“We are delighted to confirm we will be hosting a combined Women’s and Men’s HSBC Canada Sevens event in Vancouver in 2023,” said Jamie Levchuk, Interim CEO and Managing Director, Revenue and Fan Engagement, Rugby Canada. “We have strived to provide an equal platform for the Women’s and Men’s games and we're excited to welcome the best Women’s and Men’s Sevens teams in the world to BC Place for a three-day event on 3-5 March, 2023.”
