In light of continuing uncertainty around the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, the NT Government has announced that the Arafura Games will no longer go ahead.
The Arafura Games are a multisport event that targets international athletes.
The Games require extensive planning for almost 20 sports across multiple venues.
Due to ongoing uncertainty around international border and travel restrictions, and the implications of the global pandemic on our near neighbours, the Government has decided it is safer to discontinue the event.
