History Made 🏆

As part of the AFL Open an historical first with the inaugural Female Inclusion match taking place between Queensland and Victoria. This history-making match provided an opportunity for 20 females to lay the foundation for females who identify as living with disability to have the opportunity to represent their state at the representative level on the biggest stage. These women should be incredibly proud !

Congratulations to everyone who made this possible.
Exciting things to come in this space in 2025 !!!
