In July 2024, the All Blacks of New Zealand will play Fiji in a historic test match at Snapdragon Stadium in San Diego.
Rugby’s most recognizable brand is making its way to San Diego. The match will take place July 20 and follow on from the All Blacks two test series against England.
“This is an opportunity for fans in the United States to witness a top-tier match in our sport,” stated Ma’a Nonu, a former All Black and current San Diego Legion player. “A fantastic squad is visiting San Diego to take on a formidable opponent. I’m ecstatic.
The All Blacks’ complete 2024 Test calendar has been released by New Zealand Rugby (NZR). The first of three Steinlager Ultra Low Carb Series Tests will take place in front of home crowds at Forsyth Barr Stadium in Dunedin on Saturday, July 6, against England.
This summer, San Diego will host two of the strongest World Rugby teams to ever face each other on American territory. It promises to be a historic occasion.
The New Zealand All Blacks and Fiji Water Flying Fijians will play at Snapdragon Stadium on Friday, July 19 at 7:30 p.m., according to a news release sent by stadium management on Wednesday.
These teams are presently rated in the top ten worldwide. The All Blacks finished second in the 2023 Rugby World Cup held in France, while Fiji advanced to the quarterfinals and defeated Australia for the first time in 69 years.
“We can’t wait to play Fiji in San Diego with the All Blacks.” A long-standing goal of New Zealand Rugby, it’s a component of our larger plan to raise rugby’s profile and awareness in North America and establish our brand ahead of the women’s and men’s World Cups in 2031 and 2033, respectively, according to CEO Mark Robinson of New Zealand Rugby.
