Australian Football League - statistics & facts
The Australian Football League (AFL) is the pre-eminent professional competition of the national sport of Australian rules football. The AFL began its inaugural season in 1897 and has since become one of the most popular sports in the country. The game, known locally as Aussie rules football, is played across the nation by both children and adults, and most games draw large crowds. As the game has grown, so has the brand value of the AFL and its revenue.Â
