“With the Series now underway, we are hard at work to make sure that when the worlds’ best players arrive here in Vancouver, we deliver a world class experience that builds on the success we’ve had over the past three years,” said Jamie Levchuk, Managing Director for HSBC Canada Sevens. “The release of single day tickets provides an additional opportunity for fans and sports enthusiasts both young and old to experience the unique spectacle of sevens rugby, whether it’s team building with co-workers, celebrating with friends, or families introducing their kids to the magic of sevens – there are truly experiences for everyone.”

The tournament takes place over two days, with the Saturday competition schedule featuring 24 round-robin pool games. Sunday features another 21 playoff matches, including the Bronze and Gold Medal finals where the 2019 HSBC Canada Sevens Champion will be crowned. In its first three years, the tournament has delivered a dynamic atmosphere for both days, with Saturday playing host to a high-energy celebratory party that showcases colourful costumes and jubilant crowd participation, and Sunday bringing more focus to the celebration of high performance sport and community, that sets the perfect stage for families to come out and watch the 21 play-off matches amid a colourful, enthusiastic and supportive crowd.

This years’ HSBC Sevens Series carries additional significance, with results and rankings counting towards qualification for the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. Sevens made its debut on the Olympic Sport Program in 2016 in Rio, and quickly established itself as a fan favourite

thanks to its unique and enthusiastic fan culture, along with the fast paced and dynamic 14-minute matches on the field of play.
