Division 1 will compete in a round-robin format this year, giving those teams the chance to play each other at least once.

WA Country Football League General Manager Joe Georgiades said he was excited about the level of football that would be displayed over the course of the carnival.

“We’ve got the State’s best country footballers coming to Perth for the three day carnival so there will be a lot of talent running around and we are hoping the new look format encourages the best country players to attend the carnival” he said.

Senior sections will be played at Arena Joondalup, Claremont Oval, Brownes Stadium, East Fremantle Oval, Medibank Stadium and Steel Blue Oval

All Colts games will be played at Bendigo Bank Stadium in Mandurah giving the teams to play at a great stadium in the city of Mandurah. 

“Country WA has a proud tradition of producing top players, so the competition offers the chance to see some of the best developing players before they move on to the WAFL or AFL,” Georgiades said.
