Australian football

Australian football, often referred to as AFL (Australian Football League), is a fast-paced team sport that combines elements of soccer, rugby, and basketball. Played on an oval field, two teams of 18 players each aim to score points by kicking a ball between two goalposts. Players can use any part of their bodies to move the ball, but it must be kicked or handballed; running while holding the ball requires bouncing it. The game is known for its physicality and high scoring, making it a popular sport in Australia, with a passionate following and a unique culture surrounding it.
