Australian Football Association of North America
The Australian Football Association of North America (AFANA) is a non-profit organization that formed out of the campaign to save television coverage of Australian rules football in the United States and Canada in 1996. AFANA has an emphasis on the fan, and aims to help the game to develop and to improve its exposure in North America, including better TV coverage.
A major success of the lobby group was the televising of AFL matches from 2006 by Setanta Sports (USA) and MHz Worldview [1] [2] whilst it continues to work with the United States Australian Football League (USAFL) to get television exposure for local matches.
Grand Final Parties
One of AFANA's major services is the posting of announcements of the many AFL Grand Final parties held in North America (and sometimes Europe and Asia). These yearly parties are typically held the day of the Grand Final and usually feature Australian food and beverages as the staple refreshments for the event.
