Sri Lanka Women ready for 7’s Olympic Qualifications

The Sri Lanka Women's Rugby squad has left for China to participate at the Olympic Qualifications. Twelve teams will qualify for women's rugby sevens at the 2020 Summer Olympics. Japan automatically qualifies as host, with the top four teams of the 2018-19 World Rugby Women's Sevens Series securing their spots. Afterwards, qualification is determined with each of the six continental confederations determining a representative, and the remaining qualification spot determined through an international sevens tournament to be determined.

With Japan already cementing their place, these qualifying tournaments are the only way for another Asian team to grab its place at the Olympics next year. Hong Kong and China will be the favourites for both the men and women segments.  

The Sri Lanka squad that had a disappointing Asia 7’s Rugby Series will be looking to redeem themselves at this qualifiers. 12 players and 4 officials will be on tour.
