The Fijiana women’s national sevens team is gearing up for the 2026 McDonald’s Coral Coast Fiji 7s, aiming for a historic third consecutive title in the esteemed Shangri-La Yanuca Island Women’s Division. This year’s tournament is anticipated to be the most competitive since the division’s inception in 2012.
As the reigning back-to-back champions, Fijiana will enter the upcoming event buoyed by their recent successes and the guidance of head coach Richie Walker. The team has been working diligently to enhance their depth and cohesion, adopting an electrifying style of sevens rugby that has captivated fans both locally and globally.
Walker expressed his satisfaction with the team’s progress, noting that the players are evolving well and that the synergy within the squad is strengthening. However, the path to victory will be challenging, as the 2026 women’s division promises a formidable lineup. Key among the competitors are the Chinese Women’s National Teams 1 and 2, alongside several other elite international teams keen to measure their skills against the champions on Fijian soil.
This tournament not only highlights the rise of women’s sevens rugby but also serves as an opportunity for players to showcase their talents on a global stage. With the Fijiana aiming for a third title, fans can look forward to an exhilarating display of athleticism and sportsmanship at the Coral Coast Fiji 7s.
