A vibrant new logo for Rugby World Cup Sevens 2018, depicting the world‑famous Golden Gate Bridge, was unveiled in host city San Francisco with fans encouraged to sign up to register their interest in tickets via the newly launched tournament website.
The iconic AT&T Park in San Francisco will provide the spectacular backdrop to the four‑day tournament in July 2018 that features 24 men's and 16 women's teams competing for the title of world champions.
The 42,000‑seater stadium, which is home to the San Francisco Giants baseball team, is one of the most familiar and highly rated sports venues in USA and is located in downtown San Francisco, along the waterfront overlooking the bay.
This will be the seventh staging of the tournament, which has previously been held in Edinburgh, Hong Kong (twice), Mar del Plata, Dubai and Moscow.
New Zealand will be back to defend their titles but will likely face considerable resistance in the form of Olympic gold medallists, Australia (women’s) and Fiji (men’s).
