The successful hosting bid was submitted by the Kansas City Blues club and Sporting Kansas City of Major League Soccer.

SwopeSoccer Village was first dedicated as an MLS training facility in 2007. Several renovations, most recently in 2014, have further enhanced the grounds that play host to both community competition and elite events. Club 7s participants will look forward to natural grass competition surfaces with friends and fans having access to matches played in the facility’s 1,500 seat stadium.

Surfers Get That Winning Feeling

The venue also played host to the Boys HS Rugby National Championships in 2017 and 2018.

“The Blues are very excited to be hosting sevens Nationals here in Kansas City," said Chris George, Kansas City Blues president, said. "Sevens has long been a big part of our club’s history and we always place a lot of emphasis on our program, so we are eager for this opportunity.

"Our venue here at SwopeSoccer Village is top notch and our partners with Sporting Kansas City are absolutely first class. I feel that between our groups and the team at USA Rugby, we will be able to make this event truly special.”
