AFL China

OUR WOMEN. What a team. ❤️🇨🇳

Our Hong Kong Women / China Reds team gave everything in Pattaya.

🇹🇭 Thailand 14–7 Hong Kong
🇭🇰 Hong Kong 13–1 Malaysia
🇸🇬 Singapore 42–0 Hong Kong
🇹🇭 Thailand 19–0 Hong Kong — Semi Final

The scoreboard doesn’t tell the whole story.

What stood out was the effort, the attitude and the way the girls stuck together throughout the day.

For many of them, this was a huge opportunity to represent China on the Asian stage — and they did it with pride.

So proud of this group. ❤️

Thank you for representing China and the China Reds.
And a Big Thank you to Hong Kong Dragons AFL 香港飛龍澳洲足球會
for having us.
Together as One. 🇨🇳

A huge thank you to everyone who made the trip and represented China this weekend, our men, women, coaches, officials and everyone behind the scenes.

It was a long day of footy, plenty of tough games, some great moments and, most importantly, a lot of people coming together for the same reason: to represent China.

The results weren’t always what we wanted, but the experience, the friendships and the memories are what we’ll take home.

Proud of everyone who pulled on the China Reds jumper. ❤️🇨🇳

Together as One.
Go China Reds! 🏉

While most of the city is still asleep, a football flies across a beach in Xiamen.

No stadium. No crowds. No lights.

Just teammates, the sound of the ocean, and a shared passion for Australian Rules Football.

Moments like these remind us that footy isn't just played in Australia. It's growing across Asia, one kick, one mark, and one training session at a time.

This is what AFL China is all about.

The inaugural South China Cup Invitational brought together players from China, Hong Kong and Singapore for a fantastic afternoon of Australian Rules Football in Shenzhen.

From big marks and long goals to plenty of smiles off the field, this is exactly what international footy is all about.

A huge thank you to every player, volunteer and supporter who helped make the day such a success.

Check out some of our favourite moments from the tournament!

The inaugural South China Cup Invitational is done and dusted, and what a day it was in Shenzhen.

Three quality matches, plenty of goals and another fantastic opportunity to showcase Australian Rules Football in China alongside our friends from Hong Kong and Singapore.

Congratulations to the Hong Kong Dragons and Singapore Wombats on some outstanding football throughout the day, and thank you to everyone who travelled to make the tournament possible.

There were some great individual performances as well. Riley put on a clinic in front of goal with five majors against the China Reds, while Angelo proved once again that class never goes out of style. Singapore's Branchy and Brooksey both filled their boots across the day, showing why they're among the best forwards in the region.

For the China Reds, JB battled hard to kick two goals, while Chen celebrated a special moment with his first senior goal in China colours. Every player who pulled on the red guernsey represented the jumper with pride and helped continue building something bigger than one tournament.

A huge thank you to the volunteers, umpires, supporters and everyone behind the scenes. This is another important step forward for AFL China, and we're already looking forward to making the South China Cup even bigger next year.

Australian Rules Football Continues to Grow in Xiamen!

Earlier this week, Australia Rules Football was introduced to students at Xiamen Institute of Technology through a collaborative campus exchange event organised by the Australia Chapter of the Xiamen Overseas-Educated Scholars Association, together with Xiamen Institute of Technology and supported by the


Students participated in a hands-on introduction to AFL, learning the fundamentals of kicking, handballing, movement, and team-based drills under the guidance of experienced coaches. The session provided a unique opportunity for students to experience one of Australia's most exciting sports while gaining exposure to international sporting culture.
The energy, enthusiasm, and engagement shown by the students throughout the evening were fantastic, with many expressing a strong interest in learning more about the game and participating again in the future.

A big thank you to all organisers, coaches, and students involved in making the event a success. We look forward to continuing to grow Australian Rules Football across Xiamen and creating more opportunities for young people to connect through sport.
