Jun 4, 2019 USAFL Announces Partnership With OFX Times are changing. Choose a partner who can keep up. Using a bank to transfer money overseas may seem like your easiest option, but it can be an expensive one. Banks publish a daily exchange rate for currencies even though the market exchange rate moves by the second.

May 28, 2019 Season Preview Part IX - Womens West What a long, strange trip it’s been. We’re finally at the last of the nine part season preview series. And we saved the best for last. Just as it has in the men’s game, the West has produced some of the best women’s football, and, owing to the fact that Denver was in this region up until last season, an astounding nine D1 championships on the trot, as well as all four D2 titles contested. That’s impressive. Read more » |

May 8, 2019 Season Preview Part VII - Womens East The biggest development in our great game, not just in Australia or here in the USAFL, but all around the world, has been from women’s football. Indeed, a professional league now exists, state leagues in Australia are growing, and hundreds – if not more – of grass roots programs have sprung up and are already weaving themselves into the fabric of the sport’s community. No fewer than 22 USAFL clubs have a women’s program as 2019 gets underway, and there is always the possibility of more, as we’ve seen in the past. Read more » |

May 4, 2019 Season Preview Part VI - Mens West Region North The Northwest United States is known for its mountainous terrain, towering over the rest of the countryside in its picturesque beauty. It is an adequate metaphor for the teams based in this area, as they have been a cut above the rest of the field over the last decade.

May 2, 2019 Season Preview Part V - Mens West Region South One part of the USAFL equation that has remained constant has been the prowess of the west coast teams. Each year, they have several teams vying for titles in the men’s division. In fact, since 2011, there have been at least two teams from the West in a Grand Final at Nationals. That’s a pretty impressive streak, and one that doesn’t appear to be letting up any time soon. Read more » |
