HSBC SVNS Singapore: Tickets on sale for world-class sevens and family fun
By Finn Morton
Tickets for HSBC SVNS Singapore 2025 are now on sale, with the world’s best rugby sevens players returning to the National Stadium on April 5-6. With top-level athletes competing to be the best, and with off-field fun for the whole family, this event is not to be missed.
Argentina made history in Singapore last season as they claimed their first-ever HSBC SVNS league title which capped off a phenomenal run during the regular season. New Zealand won a Cup Final double with both the women’s and men’s teams triumphing in thrilling deciders.
With Jorja Miller leading the way on both sides of the ball, the Black Ferns Sevens got the better of a valiant Australia side who had lost Madison Ashby during the tournament. That was also a league title decider with the Trans-Tasman foes equal on the standings before that event.
In the final match of the weekend, the All Blacks Sevens beat Ireland quite dramatically to complete the New Zealand blackout. Ireland had been incredibly consistent that season and finished second on the standings, but they didn’t win a Cup Final during the campaign.
On top of the on-field spectacle that delivered some stunning results including South Africa’s win over Hong Kong Sevens finalists USA in the women’s draw, ticketholders also experienced “a festival of entertainment” around the Singaporean venue.
Fans had opportunities to meet and mingle with rugby legends Bryan Habana, Chloe Dalton and Dan Norton, and also had the chance to enjoy some face painting and fitness sessions, the incredible beach club experience, and some tasty food markets.
That party-like fun makes SVNS Singapore one of the best stops on the HSBC SVNS Series, and it’ll be a similar story this time around. This will be the sixth of seven events this season, which will see the league winners crowned before the World Championship stop in Los Angeles.
“We are delighted to be returning to National Stadium in Singapore for what promises to be a hotly contested weekend of world-class rugby sevens on the pitch and a festival of entertainment for all the family to enjoy around the iconic venue,” SVNS General Manager, Sam Pinder, said in a statement.
“The HSBC SVNS League Winners will be crowned in Singapore and teams will be fighting to secure a top-eight place in the standings to reach the HSBC SVNS World Championship in Los Angeles meaning there will be all to play for as many of the starts of the Olympic Games Paris 2024 will showcase their epic skills and athleticism.
“Over 3,700 people interacted with the local participation programme in 2024 and we will be launching more family fun activities for 2025, including the fan-favourite beach club, fitness events and food markets. It is going to be a weekend to remember so snap up your tickets now.”
The HSBC SVNS Series 2025 gets underway in less than two weeks’ time with Dubai’s The Sevens Stadium once again hosting the opening leg of the campaign. Cape Town, Perth, Vancouver, Hong Kong China, Singapore and Los Angeles are also hosting tournaments.
New Zealand women and Argentina men are the defending League Winners, but neither side went on to claim the overall title in Madrid. Australia dominated France in the women’s draw to claim that honour, while Antoine Dupont’s France got the better of the Argies.
In the Olympics, Dupont led France to a historic rugby sevens gold medal, while the likes of Miller, Risi Pouri-Lane and Sarah Hirini starred for Team New Zealand en route to the team’s second consecutive gold medal after taking out the top prize in Tokyo three years ago.
On this year’s HSBC SVNS Series, the 12 best women’s and men’s sides will compete in each competition in effort to become world champions. China are the only newly promoted side into the women’s league, but they won’t be easily beaten after smashing Fiji at the Paris Games.
Uruguay and fan-favourites Kenya have been promoted to the top-flight competition after showcasing their flair and skills on the Challenger Series last season. Both teams have claimed major scalps on the circuit before, so all teams will no doubt be wary of the threats they pose.
Ticketholders to HSBC SVNS Singapore 2025 can look forward to more stunning rugby and some truly enjoyable off-field entertainment for the family. More updates will be announced at a later date, but for now, tickets can be purchased at https://ticketmaster.sg/activity/detail/25sg_hsbcsvns25.

Per Stuff:
"It means Robertson will have the ability to select him for the 2025 Rugby Championship, but the Crusaders will have to wait until 2026, their first season in Christchurch’s new multi-use arena, to get their hands on him."
So Lester F will be available for the ABs in 2025 but not the Crusaders until 2026 season.
Go to commentsI hope so, I think all it needs is a little backing to make it a killer league atheistically speaking. Its a private league, an article on roar. After WR declined to host the Nations Cup in Saudi Arabia they are going to make a "champions league", or the proposed football league with all the big teams from europe, of rugby. Talk is of a "Super Round" model though, no home games, just a touring league of the biggest cities, not doubt hoping to sell out ever game (four a weekend/destination) with 50k etc.
Drua and Moana can form another conference with Apia, Nuku'alofa, and easy flight destination country (Hawai'i? maybe micronesia) as the 5th and have four conferences of five.
I think to get that personal factor those countries really need to get this crap together. Currently the players talk like they want to have the same desire to play for their country as they do the All Blacks, but really theres too much disrupting that from happening atm.
