Countdown to GSSE 2025 in Andorra

The countdown is on for Cyprus Rugby 7s as they prepare to represent the nation at the GSSE 2025 Games in Andorra.

On Sunday 25 May 2025, the Cyprus Rugby 7s squad will travel as part of the wider Cyprus Olympic Team to the eagerly anticipated multi-sport event. The rugby tournament itself will be played across two days, kicking off on Wednesday 28 May and concluding on Friday 30 May.

These experiences have been vital in fine-tuning preparations and strengthening the squad’s cohesion ahead of the Games.
