Rugby league fans will get their first footy fix for the year with the event — now in its third year — to be held at Tugun Leagues Club on Saturday and Sunday.
The 2025 9PL will feature a star-studded line-up of players, including Dally M winners, Origin representatives, and international stars:
Big-name former NRL stars such as James Maloney, Alex Glenn, Matt Bowen, Corey Norman, Jordan Kahu, Josh Hoffman, Andrew Fifita, Blake Austin, Matt Moylan and Ben Barba are among those taking the field.
International teams from New Zealand and Papua New Guinea will join teams from the Gold Coast, Queensland, and New South Wales in the dynamic 9-a-side format.
“It’s been exciting to bring this concept to life over the past three years,” tournament director Anthony Mitchell said.
“It’s grown each year and we are certain players and fans will have a great time over the weekend with high quality footy, a festival and atmosphere all the family can enjoy and more.”
