]]>This remarkable engineering feat involved moving 1,500 tonnes of structure and placing these seats above the track typically used for athletics. Support structures and concrete slabs ensure stability and fill gaps in the stands, creating additional concourse areas. These seats make up nearly half of the stadium’s 55,000 capacity, transforming the venue into a rugby fan’s dream.
The Singapore Sevens 2024 kicked off on May 3, extending the tournament to three days from the usual two. Serving as the grand finale of the 2023-24 World Rugby Sevens Series, the event will determine the season’s league winners. Adding to the excitement, a new women’s competition features 12 teams competing alongside 12 men’s teams for their respective titles.

Converting the National Stadium for this world-class event required over a week of meticulous planning and coordination. Following a packed schedule of concerts, including Taylor Swift’s sold-out performances, and other sporting events, the transformation demanded precise execution.
“We faced numerous challenges, but our experienced team ensured a seamless transition while prioritizing safety, security, and the overall experience for fans,” said Yazed Osman, group head of events at Kallang Alive Sport Management.
This year’s women’s competition marks a significant milestone for rugby in Singapore. Singapore Rugby Union general manager Sidney Kumar expressed hope that the event would inspire young girls to take up the sport.
“The Singapore Sevens is a cornerstone of our rugby ecosystem,” Kumar said, highlighting the collaboration with Sport Singapore to develop high-performance programs. “In the long term, we aspire to see a Singapore team compete in the Sevens circuit.”
The tournament will feature Stadium Zoysia, a durable turf grass first introduced at the National Stadium in 2023. With its ability to last 40% longer, the grass ensures optimal playing conditions for athletes. The same turf will be used for the upcoming National School Games Rugby finals, demonstrating its versatility and quality.
World Sevens general manager Sam Pinder described the event as a thrilling lead-up to the Paris Olympics in July. “With the stands closer to the action, fans will experience the energy and flair of the sport like never before,” he said.
This year’s Singapore Rugby Sevens promises not only intense competition but also an unforgettable experience for rugby fans worldwide.
