Victorian football leagues

Victorian football leagues refer to organized Australian rules football competitions in the state of Victoria, Australia. Historically, these leagues include the top-level Victorian Football League (VFL), now the Australian Football League (AFL), which is the premier professional competition. Below the AFL, there are numerous regional and amateur leagues, such as the Victorian Amateur Football Association (VAFA) and local district leagues, serving community teams and developmental levels. These leagues foster local talent, preserve regional sporting traditions, and contribute to the rich history of Australian rules football in Victoria.
