New Look: HSBC Sevens Village Celebrates Role Of Community at the Sevens

The Hong Kong community is an integral part of the success of the Cathay Pacific/HSBC Hong Kong Sevens and as a proud active partner of the game, HSBC is committed to bringing the spirit of rugby to the wider community. For 2019, HSBC presents the much-anticipated HSBC Sevens Village, which was already enjoying tremendous popularity and located on the doorstep of the world class tournament. Together with the  PayMe from HSBC activities starting from 29 March, the HSBC Sevens Village is a great place to celebrate the relationship between the people of Hong Kong and their tournament.

HSBC Sevens Village

Offering the fantastic array of entertainment, family activities and food & beverages that the people of Hong Kong have come to expect from the Village, HSBC is bringing a brand-new look and feel to the HSBC Sevens Village for 2019. From live screenings of almost every match of the Cathay Pacific/HSBC Hong Kong Sevens, to various rugby challenges in the HSBC Try Rugby Zone, there is something for everyone to take part in, including the Try Rugby coaching clinics, face painting and colouring walls for children. The HSBC Sevens Village will be open to the public free of charge, from 5 to 7 April, at the Indian Recreation Club located opposite the Hong Kong Stadium.
