The Hong Kong Rugby Sevens tournament kicks off Friday for the first time since Covid-19 hit.

Brooke said about 26,500 tickets have been sold and a majority of attendees are likely to be Hong Kong residents. In 2019, overseas visitors accounted for half of attendees and the tournament contributed approximately 400 million Hong Kong dollars ($50 million) to the city's economy, according to Reuters. Instead of the usual 24 teams, only 16 teams will be competing at the Hong Kong Rugby Sevens this year.
