Statement by Cape Town Mayor, Geordin Hill-Lewis<\/p>\n
I was excited to see World Rugby\u2019s announcement yesterday that the HSBC Sevens tournament will return to Cape Town after a two-year hiatus. The tournament will be played on the weekend of 9 to11 December and will see Cape Town\u2019s own DHL Stadium playing host to the world\u2019s best male and female sevens rugby players.<\/p>\n
It is fantastic to see renowned international events such as this return to the Mother City. Not only is the economic boost that results from events like this crucial for our post-Covid economic recovery, but this also reinforces Cape Town\u2019s status as an international events destination.<\/p>\n
We repeat our call on national government to drop all remaining capacity limits and allow full stadiums for large sporting events like this.<\/p>\n
Cape Town is ready to welcome all players and fans to our shores for a sports-, fun-, and entertainment-filled summer.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
