Columbus Wardogs News Release


Columbus, GA - The Columbus Wardogs arena football team announced it will host an international preseason game on Sunday, March 28 versus Australia. Kickoff will be at 3:00pm ET at the Columbus Civic Center.

The Australian team will include players from Sydney and Melbourne. The squad will also include a few players from New Zealand.
