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.
