The tournament will take place from June 4-5, but the structure of the tournament has "not yet been defined," nor which teams will be present. FPR President Carlos Amado da Silva said that, with the growth of rugby in the Olympic Games, it is necessary to "know how to take advantage of and utilize this opportunity." Da Silva: "It was a tournament that marked a generation that made national rugby and rugby sevens in particular grow" (PUBLICO, 7/2).
