The Olympic Games Paris 2024 rugby sevens repechage competition will be held in Monaco on June 21-23, 2024.
The famous event returns to Stade Louis II, which has held final qualification events for the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro in 2016 and Tokyo in 2020.
The rugby sevens repechage event for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris has been announced by World Rugby will take place in Monaco from June 21–23, 2024. Stade Louis II, the site of previous final qualification competitions for the Olympic Games in Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020, will host the renowned event once again.
With 22 of the 24 teams confirmed, the World Rugby Sevens Repechage is the final opportunity for teams to secure a highly sought-after spot in the Olympic Games in Paris in 2024. There will only be one men’s and one women’s squad that is qualified to line up in Paris’ Stade de France.
Twelve women’s and twelve men’s teams will compete in the rugby sevens event with the goal of winning the ultimate prize—that of representing their nation on the greatest platform in international sports.
Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Great Britain, Hong Kong China, Mexico, Papua New Guinea, South Africa, Spain, Tonga, and Uganda will compete in the men’s division.
After winning the first round of the HSBC SVNS 2024 in Dubai in December, South Africa’s Blitzboks will be fierce competitors, and other main teams on the elite rugby sevens circuit include Canada, Great Britain, and Spain.
Argentina, China, Czechia, Hong Kong China, Kenya, Jamaica, Mexico, Papua New Guinea, Paraguay, Poland, Samoa, and Uganda are among the teams competing in the women’s competition, which appears to be quite open. Czechia will be competing in its first Repechage event.
As the first sport to open the Olympic Games in Paris on July 24, 2024, rugby sevens is expected to provide an incredible show. The eleven men’s and eleven women’s teams that have already qualified for Paris through the HSBC SVNS and regional qualification competitions include representatives from all six World Rugby regions. New Zealand, Argentina, Fiji, and Australia are among the teams that will compete in the men’s event, which will be hosted by France. The other teams include six winners of regional qualification tournaments, from Uruguay (South America), Ireland (Europe), USA (North America), Kenya (Africa), Samoa (Oceania), and Japan (Asia).
As the top four qualifiers through the 2023 World Series, New Zealand, Australia, Ireland, and the United States join hosts France in the women’s Olympic lineup. In the women’s competition, they have been joined as the regional qualification tournament champions by Brazil, Canada, Great Britain, South Africa, Fiji, and Japan.
The Monaco Rugby Union and the Monegasque government will work together to host the World Rugby tournament, which will take place over three days on June 21–23.
After the incredible success of the Rugby World Cup 2023 in France, rugby sevens is predicted to be one of the most eagerly awaited events of the Paris Games.
The men of Fiji have dominated the Olympic competition thus far, winning two gold medals in their inaugural competitions in Rio in 2016 and Tokyo five years later. Australia took home the first-ever women’s Olympic gold medal in Rio, while New Zealand is the current reigning champion.
