Heading The Arafura Games

The Northern Territory Government is bringing back the Arafura Games to leverage the cultural, economic and social benefits of an international sporting event.

The Arafura Games began as the Arafura Sports Festival in 1991 with 1,500 athletes competing in seven sports. From 1998 it was known as the Arafura Games and was held every two years.

The Arafura Games was a well-developed international multi-sport event that attracted participants from the Asia-Pacific region and beyond, with the 2011 events attracting 1,600 visiting athletes.

The Arafura Games fostered goodwill between sporting neighbours and shared sporting and cultural knowledge within the Asia-Pacific region. Significantly, the Arafura Games also provided Northern Territory sporting organisations with the opportunity to develop facilities, coaches, officials as well as athletes. In terms of community engagement, the Arafura Games recruited over 1,000 local and interstate volunteers to support the event and also provided opportunity for interaction with local primary and secondary schools.

Welcome

Welcome to the Arafura Games and welcome to the Territory!

As Minister for the Arafura Games I thank you all for taking part in what promises to be a colourful, competitive clash of world-class athletes, including some of our best home-grown talent. As someone who has taken part in the Arafura Games as a competitor in swimming and as a volunteer and organiser, I know what a special event this is and look forward to welcoming people from all over the world to our shores. The Northern Territory enjoys close relationships with a number of countries and we hope to build on those friendships and create more through this showcase of what the Territory has to offer.

Friendships built through sport are often the foundation for stronger ties in other areas, and we look forward to seeing the Arafura Games provide not just a fantastic sporting spectacle, but also opportunities in trade, business and international relations. I wish all athletes good luck and encourage you to get out and about to explore this fantastic place we call home. From the tourist attractions and businesses here in Darwin to those further afield, such as Litchfield, Kakadu and Nitmiluk National Parks, there are plenty of unique experiences to be had.
