Saturday 10- Sunday 18 October, Sydney

More than 30,000 international competitors and visitors will be in Sydney for the World Masters Games from 10-18 October.  It’s the world’s largest multi-sport event, open to people of all abilities and most ages to compete in 28 different sports held at 72 venues across Sydney.

Taxis are expected to be in high demand, as the World Masters Games are known to attract more competitors than the Olympic Games.  Additionally, there are viewing hubs at Sydney Olympic Park, Blacktown, Penrith and Bankstown and in the CBD which are expected to attract thousands of spectators.

Many of the competitions will take place at Olympic venues, including several sites in the Sydney Olympic Park precinct that will be both the sport and social heart of the Games.
