The 2026 Rugby Africa Sevens Championship, scheduled for June 20-21 in Mauritius, has been postponed due to public health concerns stemming from the Ebola outbreak in parts of Africa.

• The decision was made as a precautionary measure following guidance from Mauritian authorities and the World Health Organisation (WHO), which declared the outbreak a Public Health Emergency of International Concern.
• Key individuals involved include Herbert Mensah, President of Rugby Africa, who emphasized that the postponement is due to welfare concerns and not due to any confirmed cases related to the tournament.
• The tournament was set to feature 12 nations, including Kenya, Zimbabwe, South Africa, and hosts Mauritius, with organizers now working to find new dates.
