In a press release issued today, World Rugby announced FNB as an official Global Partner of Rugby World Cup Sevens 2022 (RWC7s), which will take place from 9 -11 September 2022 at the Cape Town Stadium.
Fans in the iconic Cape Town Stadium will be treated to a three-day feast of thrilling rugby sevens action as the best 24 men’s and 16 women’s international teams go head-to-head in a bid to become world champions.
The 2022 edition of Rugby World Cup Sevens follows a hugely successful tournament in San Francisco, USA in 2018.

FNB CEO, Jacques Celliers, said: “We are honoured to be associated as the Global Partner for the RWC7s 2022. Over the years, rugby has helped unify our country and has provided a unique platform for South Africa to showcase its sporting talent on the global stage. The RWC7s 2022 South Africa is another opportunity for us to continue living our legacy of ‘help’, ‘hope’ and ‘togetherness’. We are very proud to be part of this monumental occasion; and look forward to hosting eager Rugby fans from across the globe in South Africa”.
As regular hosts of the HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series, Cape Town is a highlight in every team’s calendar and will provide the perfect location for RWC7s to continue the momentum from the Olympics to engage and inspire new fans and players around the world.
