2023 AFL Masters National Carnival

The Sunshine Coast in Queensland will host the 40th AFL Masters National Carnival from Saturday 30 Spetember to Sunday 8th October, 2022. It’s the first time the region has hosted the National Carnival since 2011.

The AFL Masters National Carnival is the largest mass participation football event in Australia with an estimated 60 teams across all eight Australian States and Territories spreads across 7 age divisions for Men (from 35s to over 65s) and 2 age divisions for Women (over 35s and over 40s). Over 1200 players are expected to descend on Maroochydore to vie for the title of becoming AFL Masters National Champions.

The Local Sunshine Coast Organising Committee have put together a tremendous calendar of off-field events for participants during the week including a high tea, day trips around the region, the prestigious Hall of Fame event and a recovery session on “Get Wet Monday” for “kids” of all ages & sizes. The AFL Masters National Carnival starts with opening Meet & Greet events for each participating State & Territory on AFL Grand Final Day and concludes with a Gala Night at Aussie World where Carnival winners and All-Australians are feted.

Matches throughout the week are being played at the Maroochydore Multi-Sports Complex.
