Rheinland Lions defeat inaccurate Berlin Crocs to win 2011 AFLG Premiership

Thanks Aaron.

It seems we have our game being played with any number of players-a-side from 18 down to 4 or five-a-side.

Ireland has 14-a-side along with the Texas AFL and Orange County Bombers league(tho it could be 12-a-side)(seen it written as both).

Denmark and Germany have 16-a-side with 9's as "local leagues".

The South China League and the Italian League have 12-a-side whilst the Bejiing and Shanghai Leagues operate as 9-a-side.

It seems Timor Leste play 11-a-side. and the Czech League run a10-a-side comp.

9-a-side is played all over and even now is starting in Australia, and the guys out at Krasnoyarsk in Russia played a series of matches with 4 or 5 guys-a-team.

And I think I saw that the Italian Ladies League was played with 6-a-side this year.

Just goes to show if you are passionate enough about the game then it doesn't really matter how many players are in the side as long as you get a game.

I'm compiling a bit of a compendium of international footy, have just about found every league, club/team currently playing footy, and am now trying to determine how many players-a-side each competition is played with. Some are obvious eg. Metro Footy in USA, and many competitions do state the number but there are quite few that we sort of assume is played with the full 18-a-side but probably aren't.

Yeah, adaptability is key. Rare to find fields outside Australia that are big enough for 18-a-side, regardless of whether you have enough players.

Actually, now I think about it, I seem to remember the AFLG being 14-a-side minimum, but teams could play with more if both sides had enough and agreed to do so. That might have been a different league though.
