Accra, Aug. 18, GNA - The Ghana National Rugby team would participate in the Africa Men's Sevens Tournament in Kampala, Uganda, scheduled for October 6, 2017.

The Ghanaian side would compete against nine other African nations, namely Botswana, Madagascar, Morocco, Namibia, Senegal, Tunisia, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe.

The tournament serves as the qualifier for the Sevens Rugby World Cup 2018, the Commonwealth Games and the Hong Kong Sevens.

Ghana Rugby is officially a full member of both World Rugby and Rugby Afrique West Africa.

The Ghana Rugby Football Union, led by Mr. Herbert Mensah has therefore urged corporate organisations to support the team as they prepare for the qualifiers in Kampala.

"The tournament provides excellent opportunities for multinationals to get good brand exposure as the tournament will include many African countries.

'Companies, which decide to support Ghana Rugby towards the tournament in Kampala can be assured of their brands getting continental and global exposure, Mr Mensah said. GNA
