SKF Zambia recently joined forces with Mopani Copper Mines in hosting the prestigious Mufulira Sevens Rugby Tournament. The event saw the community of the Zambian mining town of Mufulira bristling with excitement as they welcomed the teams. SKF Zambia was delighted to join forces with Mopani Copper Mines in hosting this prestigious seven-a-side rugby fest.
SKF was one of the first sponsors to get on board with this highly popular event, which is breathing new life not only into Mufulira sport, but also into the town. SKF has contributed to the transformation of the Mufulira rugby stadium, now called the Leopard’s Cage, which has been converted into a world class sporting facility complete with new change rooms, a sponsors’ viewing deck, new advertising signage and playing field upgrades.
“Due to our involvement, everyone waited with great anticipation for the championship to kick off,” says SKF Zambia managing director, Sean Kennedy. “New additions to the stadium were completed at a frantic pace, all the lodges in the area tackled springcleaning tasks, local restaurants prepared new menus and bars stocked up in readiness to welcome spectators, players and coaches.”

South Africa’s Golden Lions won the competition, while the Plate and Bowl were won by the Eagles and the Diggers respectively. The Mufulira Leopards A roared proudly as they walked away with the Shield.
