TEAM nominations are open for the 35th annual John Bomben Carnival.

The club-based tournament will be held from Thursday, September 21 to Saturday, September 23 at Endeavour Park following a break due to COVID-19 pandemic.

“It’s exciting to see the John Bomben Carnival, one of regional Queensland’s oldest football tournaments, return to Cairns after its long break during COVID,” said FQ northern region general manager Declan Carnes.

“With 2023 marking the 35th year of honouring the football legend John Bomben, through the sport he loved so dearly, we’re delighted to once again offer this carnival experience to the next generation of football legends in Far North Queensland.”

“We are looking forward to this year’s John Bomben Carnival being one of the biggest yet, with nominations open, not only to clubs in the northern conference, but the entire footballing community,” said FQ Far North and Gulf manager Alex Srhoj.

“Teams and individuals from anywhere in the state are invited to nominate for the John Bomben Carnival and enjoy everything the region has to offer young players who are not currently registered to a club will also be able to participate once they’ve registered and paid their insurance fees.”
