To mark the launch, a ‘Destination: SVNS’ campaign, has been unveiled celebrating the new, vibrant SVNS brand that positions SVNS as the ultimate summer-style destination, packed with entertainment and immersive experiences from sunrise to sunset.
World Rugby Chief Executive Alan Gilpin said: “We are excited to be launching SVNS CPT, with a new concept on and off the field, broadening the reach and appeal of the sport in one of the world’s iconic and vibrant cities, Cape Town.
“SVNS CPT will bring together a truly immersive festival of rugby, music, food and experiences to create the ultimate weekend-long get-together for young people. It will be the hottest ticket in town and open a new era for the sport.
SA Rugby CEO Rian Oberholzer explained why the SVNS Cape Town has been recognised as one of the best sporting events in South Africa: “This tournament manages to bring supporters from all over the world together in a massive celebration of Rugby Sevens, and with all the add-ons of the new-look series, tickets to this popular event will again be a much-sought-after item.
“The setting, the wonderful stadium, the hospitality and love for rugby from the fans bring a unique Cape Town experience to the tournament and with 24 of the world’s best teams in action, they can expect the best of two worlds – brilliant athletes on display in a brilliant environment and atmosphere.”
On the field, the competition format has been revamped with SVNS CPT set to deliver even more drama, excitement and jeopardy.
Under the new model, SVNS delivers gender parity with all seven regular rounds and the Grand Final featuring combined men’s and women’s competitions and equal participation fees, with a 70 percent uplift in World Rugby’s investment in participation fees as a commitment to sustainable growth.
Springbok Sevens captain Siviwe Soyizwapi is massively excited about the new developments: “I have played in more than 50 tournaments and can honestly say that the revamped series has combined all the best elements from those experiences. We are particularly looking forward to SVNS in Cape Town as this is our only opportunity to play in front of friends, family and fiercely loyal Sevens supporters.
“There is no doubt that the new format will see tickets sell fast, so supporters need to make sure they are not missing out on what is going to be a memorable weekend.”
For Nadine Roos, who captained South Africa in the Mother City in 2022, the elevation of the Springbok Women’s Sevens team to core status has come at the perfect time: “It is going to be a massive season for us. In the two previous events in Cape Town, we played as an invitational team, but this time around we have earned our spot and we will be determined to continue progressing and making our country proud.
“The new innovations will benefit all the players and it really means a lot to our squad that we will be part of this exciting journey. We know the South African crowds will again back their teams at this wonderful tournament in huge numbers. December 9 and 10 cannot arrive quickly enough.”
