The Leverkusen Wombats are hoping to launch Germany's 7th club in the coming months, with the goal of entering the AFLG as soon as next year.

Tim Böger discovered the sport whilst spending 18 months traveling and working in Australia, and decided to try and start a club upon his return to Germany. So far he's recruited around eighteen players to the squad, but is on the look out for some experienced Aussies. "Unfortunately we have no Australians in our Team, but they are more than welcome to join us. We have German and Polish players so far."

"We chose the Wombat because of one major reason. Everyone expects it to be a cute and harmless animal. But no one realises that if it is in danger, he can be really strong and can fight."

Leverkusen is located in the German state of Nordrhein-Westfalen, only 10km away from the city of Cologne where AFLG power club Rheinland Lions are based.
