Hong Kong Sevens Set to Debut at $3.85 Billion Kai Tak Sports Park

The iconic rugby tournament, with record ticket sales, tests the capabilities of Hong Kong's new state-of-the-art venue as the city seeks to revive its global reputation.

The Hong Kong Sevens begins March 28, 2025, marking the first major event at the newly opened Kai Tak Sports Park.
A record 130,000 tickets have been sold for the three-day tournament, highlighting its significance in showcasing the $3.85 billion facility.
The Kai Tak Sports Park, located on the site of Hong Kong's historic former airport, features a 50,000-seat stadium with a retractable roof, an indoor arena, and other amenities.
The event is part of Hong Kong's broader efforts to re-establish itself as a global hub for sports and entertainment after years of political unrest and strict COVID-19 restrictions.
Celebratory elements, including a Cathay Pacific fly-past, will honor the area's aviation history while concerns about operational issues remain under review.
