Philippine Rising Stars Ready to Shine in SEA 7s

4/30/2024

 
Manila, Philippines - The Philippine Rugby Football Union (PRFU) proudly presents the 2024 Philippine Rising Stars men's and women's 7s teams for the Southeast Asia 7s (SEA 7s) tournament scheduled on May 2 to 3, 2024 in Singapore. The Rising Stars program is a pathway program composed of local-based heritage men’s and women’s players selected from the High-Performance Program 7s (HPP 7s) of the PRFU. It aims to develop these local heritage players and provide more opportunities for them to hone their skills through international exposure to high-level matches across Southeast Asia. 

The program serves as an opportunity for players who exhibit standout rugby skills and potential at the grassroots level. These players were identified by the PRFU and the National coaches due to their performance in the domestic competitions, and were invited to train with the HPP 7s. The teams have been training since February at the International School Manila in Taguig City and Ultra Philsports Complex in Pasig City.
