Dramatic Comeback Sees USA Men Qualify for Next Season's Top SVNS Tier

Don't focus on moving to SVNS 1, don't focus on moving to SVNS 1, don't focus on moving to SVNS 1 ...

A watched pot never boils and the USA men's 7s team could not watch the pot when it came to garnering promotion to the top tier of the SVNS World Series for 2026-27. What they needed to do was focus on each performance.

It's down to Sunday for the USA women to make the podium in the SVNS World Championships.

The Eagles have put aside a somewhat iffy performance in Hong Kong to make a charge to the top three.

The Door Remains Open for the USA Men

The USA men did finish off pool play with a dominant win over Uruguay, but the job remains undone.

Astonishing Day for USA Men Gives Them Hope

Going into the final SVNS tournament in Bordeaux this weekend the USA men's team sat 11th, albeit an 11th virtually tied with 10th-place Germany.

If you want to make it to SVNS 1, you need to finish in the top 8, and to do that, in the end, it meant the Eagles need to finish nine points higher than Kenya or France (and it doesn't matter which).

USA 7s Men Have to Play with Confidence, Instinct—Lacamp

The USA men's 7s team has some serious work to do this weekend in Bordeaux.

With Kenya and France having mirrored each other the last two Championship tournaments (one taking 7th the other 8th and then reversing it) those two sit 7th and 8th, tied at 14 standings points.
