The Hong Kong Sevens concluded today with record-breaking attendance figures, as over 114,000 fans flocked to the city for the three-day "global sports party." South Africa’s Blitzboks claimed the men’s title after a grueling and tightly contested final against Fiji, winning 19-14 in front of a roaring capacity crowd. The victory marks a significant resurgence for the South African side, who have struggled for consistency earlier in the season but found their rhythm on the hallowed turf of the Hong Kong Stadium.

In the women's competition, New Zealand’s Black Ferns Sevens continued their incredible unbeaten streak to win their fourth consecutive title in Hong Kong. They dominated the United States in the final with a 26-7 victory, showcasing a blend of raw power and tactical precision that has made them nearly impossible to beat on the world circuit. The atmosphere in the "South Stand" remained electric throughout the weekend, reinforcing the tournament's reputation as the premier destination for rugby sevens fans globally.

The immense success of this year's event has reportedly reinforced Hong Kong's position as a key global player in world rugby, particularly as the sport looks toward the 2026-27 WXV Global Series. Local organizers and World Rugby officials praised the city's ability to host high-stakes competition while maintaining the unique carnival-like atmosphere that defines the Sevens. With the series now moving toward the final rounds in Madrid, both the Blitzboks and the Black Ferns have placed themselves in prime position to contend for the overall World Series trophies.
