The USAFL will be sending two teams, the Freedom and Liberty. The Freedom will take on Canada Northern Lights in the opening round followed by Canada Midnight Suns, Tonga and Fiji. The Liberty will play Canada Northern Lights in the second round then Ireland, Fiji and Canada Midnight Suns.
We are excited to announce the Freedom/Liberty fundraising website is up and running! As you know, the USAFL is a non-profit organization, and most of the efforts to represent the US in Melbourne at the AFL International Cup is self-funded by the individual players. This year, we chose to send two women's teams to Australia because we believe in not only representing the US to our fullest, but also to support the growth and development of the game of footy around the United States.
The USAFL is pleased to announce a sponsorship agreement has been reached with Impact Mouthguards. As part of the deal, USAFL players will receive a 10% discount on all mouthguards ordered.
