Hosting ONSM is both an honour and a responsibility. Our committee has been working passionately to create an event that reflects the values of our community—unity, respect, inclusion, friendship and sporting excellence.

Our vision extends beyond the competition itself. We aim to create an unforgettable experience where athletes compete with pride, families reconnect, volunteers make lasting friendships, businesses build meaningful partnerships and visitors experience the best of South Australia.

Every committee member, volunteer, sponsor and supporter plays an important role in making ONSM 2027 a success. Together, we will continue the proud legacy of the Oceania Nepalese Sports Meet while creating new opportunities for future generations.

We look forward to welcoming you to Adelaide in March 2027.
