Every two years in Australia, the Pan-Hellenic Athletic Games of Oceania occur.
This year the event will take place in Darwin, Australia from the 29th of September until the 2nd of October 2011 with the participation of over 400 Greek – Australian athletes, from Australia and New Zealand.
This yearʼs Games in Darwin -organized by the Greek Orthodox Community of Northern Australia and local Hellenic Associations, with the generous support of the Northern Territory Government, local businesses and SAE Oceania- are expected to be greater and larger than previous years.
Oceania Pan-Hellenic Sports Games is a unique promotional vehicle of the Hellenic communities in Australia and New Zealand, clustering a significant portion of dynamic youth of Hellenic background and creating a core which will continue to promote Hellenic culture in Oceania.
The Oceania Pan-Hellenic Sports Games, an initiative of SAE Oceania, are aimed to create interest in other regions of SAE worldwide to follow by example, creating the necessary conditions for organizing World Pan-Hellenic Sports Games in Greece.
The Pan Hellenic Games will also host an out of season Glenti as part of the closing of what is anticipated to be very friendly and enthusiastic sporting competition.
