NewswireTODAY - /newswire/ - Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, 2007/03/25 - Adelaide to hold Pan Hellenic Games in 2007 for Australian and New Zealand for youths with Greek Ancestry.

The World Council of Hellenes Abroad (SAE) has helped to bring young people with Hellenic Heritage together and will hold the Pan-Hellenic Games in Adelaide during 20-22 April. The goals of the event are to promote the eternal ideas of the Olympic Spirit and to strengthen the ties amongst the Greek Community in Australia and New Zealand. The games will include events in track and field, swimming, weightlifting, Taekwondo, tennis, gymnastics, and mens/womens soccer. The games will be open to any young person between the ages of 16 and 30 of Greek ancestry and who is a permanent resident of Australia or New Zealand.

Australia has a large Hellenic community. Australians with Greek ancestry are the seventh largest ethnic group in Australia, numbering approximately 375,000.

Today half of those Greek born live in Victoria and a third in New South Wales. As a result Melbourne and Sydney have large Greek communities, Melbourne is the largest Greek City outside of Greece and the home of Greek Immigration to Australia.
