Over 1,000 Deaf and Hard of Hearing people and up to 150 volunteers are set to join in the festivities.

A variety of sports are being played, including cricket, basketball, futsal, touch football, netball, athletics, tennis and golf. These sports will be hosted in a “who’s who” of iconic Adelaide stadiums including the Netball Stadium, the Athletics Stadium and the Adelaide Arena.

The 2016 Australian Deaf Games will be formally opened by the Hon. Tony Piccolo, Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services and Minister for Road Safety.
