In a historic first for West Africa, Ghana is set to host the Rugby Africa Women’s Sevens Tournament, which is also a qualifier for the HSBC Sevens Challenger Series 2025. There are a dozen teams that will compete over two days at the University of Ghana on November 9-10.

Organised in partnership with the Government of Ghana, 12 teams will come together, but only one can stand above the rest as winners. While this tournament will determine this year’s champions of Africa, there’s also plenty to celebrate for those who place second and third.

The top three teams will secure their place on World Rugby’s second-tier Challenger Series, which sits behind the premier international circuit, the HSBC SVNS Series. That makes this an important step for teams who have an ambition to play in the top flight competition.

Defending champions South Africa headline the event that also includes Kenya, Tunisia, Zimbabwe, Burkina Faso, Madagascar, Ghana, Mauritius, Uganda, Zambia, Senegal and Cote D’Ivoire. Entry into the University of Ghana’s Rugby Stadium is free for this event.

“I think the youth is actually good for our senior players, that gives them much more energy that they need so hopefully they can blend it together and make something special,” South Africa assistant coach Cecil Afrika said in a video.

“There’s always pressure. I think for us, it’s the relative focus on us, understanding where we’re at as a team and where we’re working towards.

“We’re not trying to focus on external pressure, there’s always going to be pressure… that’s our sole focus, focusing on us and where we need to be and what we need to do that we give ourselves an opportunity to quality for the Challenger Series and then work from there.”

This is a milestone tournament for Ghana as it reflects the growing standing of rugby union in the West African nation. It’ll be held at the Rugby Stadium, which is also the region’s first purpose-built rugby venue – having been completed ahead of the 2023 African Games.

All 34 matches will be available for live streaming on RugbyPass TV, and it’s free for fans to register for that platform. The tournament will get underway with Zambia taking on Senegal at 9:00 am local time (GMT) on Saturday, November 9.

Waratahs confirm brutal news for Wallabies star Max Jorgensen

I live in Dubai, a city epitomizing luxury, innovation, and rapid growth. Known for its iconic skyline, cutting-edge technology, and thriving economy, Dubai attracts people from all over the world, creating a melting pot of cultures and opportunities. With its growing real estate market, it has also become a hotspot for investors seeking profitable ventures. However, despite all its appeal, Dubai is not immune to the risks that come with the digital age, including online scams. Unfortunately, I learned this lesson the hard way when I fell victim to a fake online real estate investment scheme.I had come across an online platform that promised high returns from real estate investments in Dubai. The website appeared professional, with attractive visuals and solid claims of lucrative deals. Enthusiastic about the opportunity, I decided to invest a considerable amount of money AED 300,000. The platform made everything seem so legitimate, with detailed reports, customer support, and even seemingly real testimonials. As someone who lives in Dubai and is familiar with the local real estate market, I believed this was a solid investment opportunity.However, things began to take a turn for the worse after I made the transfer. At first, the returns appeared on the platform, but when I tried to withdraw some funds, I encountered strange delays. Soon, the website started malfunctioning, and the support team became unreachable. My investment appeared to have disappeared, and I realized that I had been scammed. It was a crushing experience to lose such a significant amount of money, and I felt both helpless and frustrated. Determined not to give up, I searched for ways to recover my funds and came across Trust Geeks Hack Expert Website, www://trustgeekshackexpert.com , a reputable company specializing in tracking down online fraud and helping victims get their money back. I contacted their team, and they took immediate action, carefully investigating the fraudulent platform I had invested in. Within a short period, Trust Geeks Hack Expert successfully tracked the fraud and managed to recover my AED 300,000.Dubai is an exciting place to live and invest, but this experience taught me a valuable lesson about the importance of being cautious when it comes to online investments.

Panic set in as I desperately searched for recovery options, but I seemed to get nowhere. After hours ofRECOVER YOUR LOST CRYPTOCURRENCY, BITCOIN AND ETH WITH SOFTWEAR TECH frustration, that LinkedIn post resurfaced in my mind.

Super Rugby Pacific's rebirth can finally restore the missing All Blacks edge

Trust, I once believed, formed the essential foundation of any partnership, particularly in business ventures and financial transactions. My naiveté, however, led me to trust too readily. I encountered an individual presenting herself as a crypto investment guru and strategist. We bonded over shared interests, including our lifestyles and a mutual appreciation for arts and antiques. I found myself believing every word she spoke regarding his purported success in crypto and how crypto would soon take over the world. I was intrigued, after all, a couple of thousand dollars won't break a spine. Initially, the experience seemed promising, but it soon devolved into a chaotic situation. I was repeatedly pressured to provide increasingly substantial sums of money as my supposed profits grew, and I sought to withdraw my funds. Within a mere three months, I had transferred $390,000 in Bitcoin from my wallet across five separate transactions. Subsequently, my wallet was compromised and faced imminent threat. It was at this critical juncture that I sought assistance from Meta Tech Recovery Pro. I presented my case to them, and after a thorough analysis, they revealed that I had been communicating with a single individual throughout the entire ordeal. Meta Tech Recovery Pro swiftly secured my wallet and, through their expertise, successfully recovered my Bitcoin from the scammer. In conclusion, I strongly advise exercising extreme caution when placing your trust in individuals you encounter online. I am eternally grateful to Meta Tech Recovery Pro for their invaluable assistance. They can be reached via:
