The 28th annual Jamberoo 7s is set to take over the village, bringing with it a wave of football fever and community spirit. The event will be held 7-8 February 2025 at Kevin Walsh Oval, Jamberoo. What began with just six teams has blossomed into a major sporting event, attracting over 1,000 players for a weekend of thrilling seven-a-side action.

"The energy is infectious," says Alan Smith, President of Jamberoo Football Club. "The Jamberoo 7s creates lasting memories for everyone involved, while also strengthening our community bonds."

This year, 112 teams will battle it out across seven tournaments, making for a spectacle of amateur football. The action kicks off Friday night and continues throughout Saturday, culminating in an exciting finals showdown.

Beyond the sport itself, the Jamberoo 7s significantly boosts the local economy. With an influx of visitors, the tournament is expected to generate over $1 million for businesses in Jamberoo and surrounding areas.

Organisations are working to secure camping facilities to accommodate out of towners, adding another layer of convenience and camaraderie to the weekend.

The tournament holds special significance as it honours the legacy of Australian football icon, Johnny Warren.

"It's an honour to see Uncle John's legacy celebrated through events like this," says Erica Warren, Johnny's niece and a Kiama Councillor. "The Jamberoo 7s embodies his belief in football's power to unite communities."

Driven by a dedicated team of volunteers, the Jamberoo 7s is a testament to the village's spirit and hospitality. Visitors can enjoy the charm of Jamberoo, from the iconic pub housing the Johnny Warren Museum to the picturesque surrounding landscapes.

"It's a celebration of Jamberoo," says Smith. "We invite everyone to experience the magic."

With its unique blend of sport, community, and legacy, the 28th Jamberoo 7s promises to be an unforgettable event.
