About Us / Contact Us
Welcome to World Footy News - independent news and views from the international Australian Football community.
World Footy News was created to foster awareness of Australian Football ('footy' to those in its traditional homelands of southern and western Australia) around the globe and to aid communication between clubs, leagues and individuals playing and supporting Aussie Rules. Note that we do not seek to thoroughly cover general football news within Australia, as there are numerous websites and other media dedicated to that.
We aim to provide independent reporting and as such are not affiliated directly with any clubs, leagues or organisations. We do however gratefully acknowledge the support of those groups that along the way have helped us bring you the news.
WFN includes modest advertising to cover costs. Any profits will be directed to improving our coverage and a junior development fund.
