The Manu Samoa 7s team showcased their resilience and skill at the 2024 Oceania 7s tournament held in Honiara, Solomon Islands. The team emerged victorious, clinching the championship title after a hard-fought match against Fiji, culminating in a thrilling 17-12 win in extra time.
Following their exit from the HSBC 7s World Series, the Manu Samoa 7s team has been on a journey determined to regain their place in the prestigious tournament. Winning the Oceania 7s has now set them on a path to compete in the Challenger Series 2025, where they will vie for a spot in the next HSBC World Sevens Series. This opportunity is crucial for the team as they aim to consistently perform at an elite level and represent Samoa on the global stage.
Despite the challenges faced by the Manu Samoa 7s team, Samoa IBFC has continued to provide the necessary support to assist them in their journey, believing in their potential to make a comeback for Samoa and rugby. As the Manu Samoa 7’s Naming Rights sponsor, we are proud to be backing our national players as they strive for excellence and aim to secure a position for Samoa to compete in the HSBC 7s World Series next year.
