The 2013 Axios Euro Cup will be held in Saint-Médard-en-Jalles close to Bordeaux, the fifth biggest city in France. The organization is managed by the local team, Bordeaux Bombers, in close cooperation with the Comité National de Football Australien (the French Federation) and AFL Europe.

On the 21st September 2013, hundreds of European players (and volunteers) will compete in a warm and friendly atmosphere. This challenge is a real opportunity for the development of the Australian football in France.

This year, the French League has seen the victory of Toulouse Hawks in the Super League and Montpellier Sharks in the Development League. Nevertheless, following a considerable number of withdrawals caused by injuries and limited games the Comité National de Football Australien has decided to unify the two leagues.



The seven teams (Aix-Marseille Dockers, Bordeaux Bombers, Coyotes de Cergy-Pontoise, Montpellier Fire Sharks, Paris Cockerels, Strasbourg Kangourous and Toulouse Hawks) will play only one way match. At the end of the season the four best clubs will compete for the Final.

News clubs will be able to join the championship if they meet conditions stipulated by the CNFA.

At the moment, French clubs are recommencing their training and launching recruiting campaigns. French Girls and Boys, the day of glory has arrived!
