The Lions7s, Spain s national men s rugby sevens team, are currently intensifying their training sessions at the renowned El Panta rugby stadium as they prepare for their upcoming participation in the prestigious HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series.
This global circuit will kick off on November 30 in Dubai, marking an important milestone in their competitive calendar.
On November 20, team members received a warm welcome from the Mayor of Villajoyosa, Marcos Zaragoza, and the Councillor for Sports, Peyo Lloret. The meeting served as an excellent opportunity to highlight the team s preparations and the ongoing support from the local community. The Lions7s have made the El Panta municipal stadium their training base, a decision driven by the success they experienced during previous camps, including the Lionesses Training Camp against Canada and the Villajoyosa International Rugby Cup.

At the meeting were notable figures such as Guillem Carrion, Villajoyosa Rugby Club president, national coach Paco Hernandez, and team captain Pol Pla. Captain Pla took the opportunity to express his gratitude for the collaboration and commitment displayed by the Villajoyosa Town Council towards the sport of rugby and the local club. He emphasised the exceptional sports facilities available in Villajoyosa, which play a crucial role in enabling the national team to conduct rigorous training and achieve optimal preparation for the challenges ahead.
Following their training in Villajoyosa and a stop in Madrid, the Lions7s will head to Dubai to kick off their competitive season, which runs until 3 and 4 May in Los Angeles.
