August 15th, 2024
Vancouver, BC - HSBC SVNS Vancouver will celebrate its 10th anniversary as it returns to BC Place February 21 to 23, 2025, with tickets set to go on sale on October 23, 2024.
Taking place on the traditional lands of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), Stó:lō and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations, this annual tradition will once again feature a combined women’s and men’s tournament, with matches taking place over three days, for the ultimate Vancouver sports experience.
“We are super excited that Vancouver has been confirmed for another year as a stop on the HSBC SVNS Series,” said Olivia Apps, Captain of Canada Women’s Sevens Team and 2024 Olympic silver medalist. “Last year was so memorable for the team, beating Australia in the bronze medal game in front of a home crowd filled with our friends and family. The atmosphere inside BC Place is unmatched compared to any other stop on the series. Vancouver will definitely be the “place to be” in February next year. We love playing at home and the team is thrilled to be going back!”
Fans will have an opportunity to cheer on both Canadian sevens teams over the course of the weekend at BC Place. The Paris 2024 Olympic silver medalists, Canada’s Women’s Sevens Team, will take to the pitch for HSBC SVNS Vancouver, with Canada’s Men’s Sevens Team competing in a Fast Four invitational tournament.
“Rugby Canada is proud to celebrate 10 years of hosting this event in 2025,” stated Rugby Canada CEO Nathan Bombrys. “We believe Vancouver always provides a world-class experience for the best players in the world to compete, while hosting a HSBC SVNS Series event allows us an opportunity to inspire girls and boys across Canada to play rugby.”
Rugby Canada would like to thank Sport Hosting Vancouver, the Province of British Columbia and the Government of Canada for their continued support in bringing HSBC SVNS to Vancouver for the last ten years.
