Port Pirie to host 2027 South Australian Masters Games

Athletes and supporters from across the state will travel to Port Pirie in 2027 after the Port Pirie Regional Council secured the rights to host the South Australian Masters Games.

The major multi-sport event welcomes participants aged 30 and over to compete across a wide range of sports.

It also provides a strong boost for regional communities; drawing visitors who support local businesses, accommodation providers and hospitality venues.

The city has a proud history with the South Australian Masters Games and is well known for its strong sporting culture and welcoming community atmosphere.

Local clubs, volunteers and community groups will play an important role in delivering the event and ensuring participants enjoy a memorable experience.

Deputy Mayor Alan Zubrinich said the successful bid reflects the dedication of local volunteers and sporting organisations.

“This level of engagement reflects the strong sense of volunteerism and passion within our community,” he said.

Hosting the Games will showcase the region’s sporting facilities while highlighting the important role sport plays in bringing people together.

Planning for the event will involve strong collaboration with sporting clubs, volunteers and local organisations to ensure the 2027 Games deliver lasting benefits for the community.
