Cultural celebration

The sixth successive Multicultural Sports Carnival will be held in Naracoorte this Saturday.

The day promises to be a spectacular day of sporting action to celebrate our diverse community.

The 2024 Teys Naracoorte Multicultural Sports Carnival at the Naracoorte United Soccer Club will bring people together from different cultural backgrounds to compete in soccer and rugby round robin competitions.

The carnival will communicate the message of shared values – respect, equality and freedom – and celebrate multiculturalism through sport.

For the second successive year, Teys Naracoorte is leading the coordination of the carnival with support from Naracoorte United Soccer Club, the Australian Migrant Resource Centre, Limestone Coast Multicultural Network, Rugby Union SA and Naracoorte Lucindale Council.

The free community event has become a popular annual tradition for local multicultural groups, uniting people from different cultural backgrounds and forging community connections.

The Teys Naracoorte Multicultural Sports Carnival will boast free multicultural food tastings with the soccer action kicking off at 8.30am and the rugby games getting underway at noon. The soccer draw for the day will include men’s, women’s and junior teams.

The day will conclude about 4pm with the presentation of awards and prizes.
