The event will see more than 64 teams from across Victoria take part.

Greater Shepparton Mayor Dinny Adem said hosting this event builds on developing Greater Shepparton’s reputation as the regional sporting event capital.

“The economic benefit of this event will see more than $1million injected into the local economy through accommodation, hospitality, retail and tourism spending,” Cr Adem said.

“Sports tourism is an integral part of our major events calendar and this will be built upon further this year with the Softball Masters Championships in June, MX Nationals in July and the Shepparton Running Festival in August.

“Council strives to attract the biggest and best events to Greater Shepparton boosting employment, tourism, entertainment and liveability for our community. Our teams are working hard creating jobs, keeping business busy and the economy strong.

Matches will commence at 9am each day and be played from Friday 8 April until Sunday 10 April.
