The 11th spot out of the 12 spots for the Olympics 7s 2024 will be up for grabs this weekend at the Oceania 7s Rugby Championship for both the men’s and women’s teams that will be participating in this tournament.

With the Fiji Airways Fiji Men’s team already earning their spot in the Paris Olympics, the Fijiana 7s side will hope to win this weekend’s Oceania 7s Rugby Championship to secure their spot.

If they miss out on winning this tournament, they will have to participate in the World Rugby Final Olympic Repechage Tournament that will be held after the 2023/2024 World Rugby Sevens Series.
