For the first time ever Cape Town will host the HSBC Women’s Sevens Series alongside the Men’s competition at the Cape Town Stadium this weekend.
It will be the first time the women’s tournament is held on the African continent.
Featuring 12 teams, including the South African team Imbokodo, the tournament will kick off on Friday with the finals being played on Sunday.
Mayoral Committee Member for Safety and Security, JP Smith, says the addition of the Women’s Series means more entertainment for the fans in the stands and more value for their money.
Last year more than 95 000 spectators descended on Cape Town Stadium and the economic impact from the 2018 edition is estimated at R150 million.
