Vision

  • Improve the format of the game, by identifying and securing better quality grounds, having an increased pool of umpires, with the potentiality of an 18-a-side demonstration game
  • Expand the game across Switzerland to new cities and regions
  • Build a strong reserves format, providing a safe and welcoming entry point for newcomers to experience the game and foster their personal development
  • Grow female representation within all clubs and establish a women’s league within AFL CH
