Australian Amateur Football Council
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Australian Amateur Football Council is the governing body of amateur Australian football in the states of Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania in Australia.
The council was formed in 1933.
The council organises international representative matches and is responsible for several amateur leagues, including the Victorian Amateur Football Association, South Australian Amateur Football League, Western Australian Amateur Football League.
Not all Australian amateur leagues are represented. The Northern Tasmanian Football Association has been a member in the past and a U23 All-Australian team played an open Tasmanian team in 2007. The Top End Australian Football Association and AFLQ State Association and Sydney AFL are not members of the AAFC. It is also worth noting that these leagues do not follow as strict criteria of "amateur".
Many of these leagues have rules and interpretations which differ from the Laws of Australian Football and the way that the game is played at professional level.
