Adelaide will now host the largest wheelchair rugby event in the world in 2025.
The Wheelchair Rugby World Challenge, a new event on the global wheelchair rugby calendar, will see the all-conquering Australian Steelers play at home for the first time since 2018 against 5 of the world’s best.
The new-look competition format will see the Paralympic Bronze Medallists, and world number two (2) side the Australian Steelers, take on international powerhouses Canada, Germany, New Zealand, Brazil and the Netherlands in the world division, spanning four days (29 May – 1 June 2025). The new competition will run alongside the existing Wheelchair Rugby National Championship, along with a newly introduced junior’s division, ensuring Adelaide will now host the largest wheelchair rugby event in the world in 2025.
Supported by the South Australian Government in a host agreement, the event will be staged at the Netball SA Stadium, Adelaide and be broadcast live on Fox Sports and Kayo Sports across the four days play, with the Australian Steelers seeded first in the competitions top draw.
