AFL Suisse est fière d’annoncer un accord de partenariat avec Backup ONE AG, une entreprise leader de la sécurité informatique en Suisse. Le soutien (“backing up”) de vos amis sur et hors du terrain est l’un des concepts clés de l’AFL et nous sommes ravis de compter sur le soutien de Backup ONE pour cette saison. AFL Suisse a hâte de travailler avec Backup ONE pour développer l’Aussie Rules en Suisse et pour renforcer la réputation de la marque Backup ONE en Suisse et plus loin.
Finally, the return of footy in Switzerland looks like it’s on the horizon. After a very long time of uncertainty we can start to draw up a provisional schedule for the season 2021!
The latest easing of the COVID-19 regulations by the BAG (Bundesamt für Gesundheit) now allows us to play and train full contact with up to 50 people with appropriate tracing measures.
Although only 50 people can play/train together at once, we’re working hard on securing grounds around the country so we can start playing rounds of football as soon as the BAG confirms that more people are allowed to play together.
So far, we have a couple of dates for the return of footy if the situation in Switzerland allows it. More dates will follow for the AFL Switzerland rounds once grounds have been secured.
*The Festival of Football, organized by AFL Europe, will take place on 14 August 14th. The ground we’ll play on is yet to be decided but an update will follow shortly. More information regarding this tournament will be communicated.
There’s still a bit of uncertainty about the Euro Cup, which is played by national teams from across all of Europe. Currently there are two provisional dates so keep both of them free if you are eligible to play for Switzerland or would like to come along as a supporter! Updates will follow as soon as AFL Europe has decided on the dates.
We hope to see you all out on the footy field very soon!
Sporty greetings from the 2021 AFL Switzerland committee,
Effie
President AFL Switzerland
