Adelaide to host Australian Masters Games in 2015

October 15, 2013

More than 10,000 participants from around the nation will gather in Adelaide for the 2015 Australian Masters Games, providing a multi million dollar boost to the local economy.

Announcing South Australia's hosting of the biennial event for the sixth time, South Australian Tourism Minister Leon Bignell stated "the Australian Masters Games is the largest multi-sport event in Australia and will feature eight days of competition across 50 sports.

"This event is expected to inject more than $12 million into South Australia's economy and promotes friendship and goodwill among participants and the community as a whole."

The last time Adelaide last held the Australian Masters Games in 2011 it attracted almost 8,000 visitors and had an economic impact of $8.9 million.

Minister Bignell added "this event will make a significant contribution to the local economy and is also a great opportunity to showcase both Adelaide and our regions to athletes and supporters.

"This is an event that celebrates lifelong participation in sport and the enduring friendships fostered in a team environment.

"Our impressive sporting facilities are an ideal match for the Australian Masters Games, and we'll be encouraging athletes and supporters to make the most of Adelaide and South Australia's beautiful regions."

The event is the property of the Confederation of Australian Sport (CAS) whose President Rob Bradley concluded "Adelaide is arguably the 'spiritual home' of the Australian Masters Games having hosted on five previous occasions over the past three decades.

"CAS is also delighted to be working again with the South Australian Tourism Commission, which has been a driving force in bringing major events to their state."

The 2013 Australian Masters Games were held in Geelong between 5th and 12th October.
