From July 17–19, Suncorp Stadium will be playing host to some of the world’s most loved sports teams as football fever sweeps Brisbane. Whether you consider a football to be round or oblong, there is something for you to enjoy on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Kicking off festivities on Friday July 17 is a highly anticipated fixture between the storied Liverpool Football Club and hometown heroes Brisbane Roar. The English Premier League team will be training in Australia throughout July, and has set aside time to take on the ferocious Roar players. If you can’t grab a ticket but are a die-hard Liverpool fan, don a red jersey and head to King George Square where there will be a live screening of the game alongside giveaways, music, food and drinks.

Saturday July 18 will see the Qantas Wallabies tackle the South African Springboks in the first game of the Wallabies’ rugby championship season. This game is set to be a grudge match so grab your green and gold attire and get to Suncorp Stadium to support the national team. If you prefer to support your local team, the Brisbane Broncos will face Wests Tigers in an NRL blockbuster on Sunday July 19. Soccer, rugby union or rugby league, this epic weekend of footy will be entertaining to say the least. Head to the Visit Brisbane website for more football information.
