Spain booked their spot in the Cup quarter-finals for only the second time ever on day two at the Hong Kong Sevens on Saturday.
Head coach Pablo Feijoo's side will face series leaders South Africa in the final eight on a sold-out Sunday in Hong Kong, their first Cup appearance since London in 2012.
"We are working well," said Spain captain Francisco Hernandez. "The Pool was very tough for us but to get into the Cup quarter-finals during the season makes us very happy."
Chasing their fourth consecutive Hong Kong title, Fiji were one of just two unbeaten sides in the pool stages alongside the Blitzboks who also notched up three victories across the first two days of the tournament.
The Challenge Trophy quarter-finals, deciding placings 9-16 that start Sunday’s order of play, will be Samoa v France, England v Australia, Wales v Russia and Canada v South Korea.
