Two weeks out from one of the biggest events on the rugby league calendar the inaugural Magic Round, junior footy clubs across Brisbane are set to capitalise when the biggest names in football converge on the River City.

With all 16 of the National Rugby League’s clubs poised to head to Brisbane for the weekend long event, Tourism Industry Development Minister Kate Jones announced local juniors would get special attention from their sporting idols over the next month.

The Magic Round is the hottest ticket on the NRL’s calendar for 2019 and we’ve worked hard to maximise tourism outcomes for the city from this event, Ms Jones says.
