Two giant footballs, a roaming field and a surreal landscape of boulders and cakes: step up Brisbane and play The Beautiful Game.
With a nod to the unruly, medieval origins of the world’s most popular sport, this participatory game invites women and non-binary people to get fierce and step onto the field. In celebration of the recent victories of Australian women in sport, The Beautiful Game parodies contemporary football’s hyper-masculine aura in a ridiculous game that pits Northsiders against Southsiders.
Live in the Valley? Join the Northside Lamingtons. Heart’s in West End? You’re a Southside Tuff! No sporting ability required: register and armour up or barrack from the sidelines.
FREE EVENT
Or just turn up to watch.
Participation on the field is for female-identifying and non-binary folks – cheering your head off for your team is for everyone.
