The very first edition of Corsica 7, the international rugby sevens tournament in Corsica, took place on Saturday, May 9.
A prestigious international lineup
For this major debut, Corsica 7 made a big splash by bringing together teams from diverse backgrounds to compete in the idyllic setting of Porto-Vecchio. Spectators were treated to the excitement of an exceptional lineup featuring:
- The Italian and Mauritian national teams
- The Euskadi (Basque Country) team
- Squadra Corsa, a proud local representative
- The famous French Barbarians, who shone on the pitch and etched their name in the record books by winning this inaugural edition!
A collective success built on solid partnerships
This wonderful event could not have come to fruition without the drive and energy of the League, led by its president Dumé Marcellesi, whom we warmly thank for his trust and commitment to this innovative project. We also extend our thanks to the volunteers, supporters, and players.
At Up & Under, we view our events not merely as sporting fixtures, but as genuine projects that foster shared and complementary synergies. It is therefore with immense pride that we organized this major tournament in close collaboration with the Corsican Rugby League.
This inaugural edition of the Corsica 7 lays the foundations for a wonderful, long-lasting adventure on the « Island of Beauty. »
📅 Setting our sights on 2027 for a new edition that promises to be even more spectacular!
