Fast, fierce, and unforgettable – Rugby Sevens is more than a game – it’s the ultimate fan experience. The pace is blistering, the hits are hard, and the atmosphere? Electric. And if you’re a true sports fan, watching from the stands is only half the fun. The other half? Chasing the action across the globe. 

With tournaments in Dubai, Cape Town, and Paris for Rugby Sevens 2025-26, the pitch is your playground – and at Edusport, we can craft a tailor-made package that gets you there in style. Think flights, hotel and ticket upgrades, additional nights, and VIP experiences – customised to your game plan.
