/0 Comments/in /by

As the green and gold glitter settles after the Springboks’ RWC triumph in Japan, the Treble team are busy underway ensuring that the Cape Town leg of the 2019-20 HSBC World Sevens Series will be the best one ever.

It’s exactly one month till we deliver another world-class food & beverage solution, and it’s the final stretch of 2019 for our talented and dedicated team. It’s been an event-filled year, but this one is always close to Treble’s hearts.

The beautiful Mother City will once again welcome the finest Sevens players in the world. But what makes this edition so special is that it’ll be the first time that the world’s top Women in the Sevens arena compete in their own competition.

The ladies’ competition will run alongside selected legs of the 2019-20 HSBC World Sevens Series, with the jewel in the crown coming in the form of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.

Supporters from across the globe will be in their element in the glorious December sun at the majestic Cape Town Stadium, which is one of the Mother City’s iconic treasures and was shortlisted for the Event of the Year Award during the Stadium Business Summit, which took place in the United Kingdom earlier this year.

The award nomination recognised the host venue and the venue’s management/operational team for delivering an excellent event. The Cape Town Sevens was also been named Best Live Sports Experience in South Africa at the Discovery Sport Industry Awards for the past two years.

Treble Group is honoured to be part of this world-class event. Our operations team successfully delivered an unmatched food and beverage solution for the fourth year in a row in 2018, catering for over 100 000 rugby supporters and 2019 promises to be the best one yet.

Treble Group delivered another world-class food & beverage solution at the Cape Town leg of the 2018-19 HSBC World Sevens Series.

The Mother City welcomed the finest sevens players in the world as supporters from across the globe basked in the December sun at the majestic Cape Town Stadium.

The Blitzboks were silenced by a rampant Fiji outfit who were a man down with the scores deadlocked at 12-12 and even the colourful jerseys, which marked the 100th anniversary of the birth of former President Nelson Mandela, could not stop the Islanders’ juggernaut.

South Africa went on to clinch third place, though, with a hard-fought 10-5 win over the old enemy, New Zealand, to give the colourful stream of Blitzboks fans some consolation.

Treble Group is extremely honoured to have been part of this world-class event. Our operations team once again successfully delivered an unmatched food and beverage solution for the fourth year in a row, catering for over 100 000 rugby supporters.

Fifteen bars, 19 food stalls and food trucks manned by our energetic ground staff made sure that everyone at the Cape Town Stadium remained satisfied and hydrated with a wide range of local food and drink options.

We continue our valued partnership with South Africa’s top brewmasters, SAB, to deliver rugby’s staple refreshment at Cape Town 7s. As always, SAB dominated with multiple watering holes, keeping fans topped up with their favourite brew. Our operations team mapped out the logistics with precision, ensuring there was a welcomed lack of long queues.

Treble Group facilitate all of DHL’s various installations. With DHL being the official global logistics partner of the HSBC World Sevens Series, Treble Group provided all the solutions and activate any DHL-related services – including the interactive DHL Fan Zone, which is a highlight for fans at the Cape Town leg of the HSBC World Sevens Series.

Our communications team captured the best-dressed fans who have become the mainstay of Saturday’s festival atmosphere. Our team, the official agency for the Springbok Supporters’ Club media and communications, kept our passionate rugby fans who could not attend up-to-date with the Cape Town 7s vibe.

We are thankful for working with industry greats such as SA Breweries, Spur, Peninsula Beverages, Monster, Kauai and Vida e Caffe as well as the numerous popular food kiosk and food truck providers. We are also exceedingly grateful to SA Rugby for partnering with us at this world-class event and we look forward to counting down to December 2019.
