Forget the FIFA World Cup. The biggest sporting event on the planet in 2010 is undoubtedly MAIGs!
Maccabi Australia welcomes the world to Sydney from 26 December 2010 - 2 January 2011 for a festival of sport, fun and friendship. Whatever your favorite sport is we have it covered - over 20 sports are on offer. Many countries have already registered interest including: Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Columbia, England, Israel, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Scotland, South Africa, USA, Venezuela as well as several European countries. The inaugural Maccabi Australia International Games were held in Sydney in 2006. Maccabi Australia hosted over 700 athletes from around the world at this exciting event, and started a tradition to build on!
We are extremely lucky in Australia to enjoy the benefits of one of the largest and most dynamic Maccabi communities. With a well-earned reputation for our love of all sports, it was only natural that Australia, with so much to offer and so much enthusiasm about the Maccabi philosophy, would host a sporting event, welcoming international Jewish athletes.
The event is open to males and females in three categories:
1. Youth (born 1992/3)
2. Open
3. Masters
Visit the world-famous Bondi Beach, climb the Harbour Bridge, marvel at the Opera House - enjoy the fun and sun and fireworks over the New Year period in Sydney. Accommodation is located at the central Darling Harbour and most sports will be played at Sydney Olympic Park, home of the 2000 Sydney Olympics.
So mark your calendar, call your friends and start training for MAIGS in Sydney, December 2010.
