We are happy to announce the 1st International Australian rules football tournament on March 4, 2023, in Sofia, Bulgaria,
AFL Bulgaria, in cooperation with Bulgarian-Australian Business Council, presents the 2023 International Australian rules football Tournament in Sofia.
Teams from 4 countries will compete for The Cup With The Martenitsa. The one-day tournament has a similar format to the AFL Europe’s EURO Cup and Champions League and offers excellent pre-season experience for some of the top clubs in the continent.
The participating teams include the current AFL London runner-up Wandsworth Demons, the top Israeli side Tel Aviv Cheetahs, and the 2022 runner-ups from Denmark the Odense Lions.
The hosting country will be represented by the newly formed Bulgarian Bombers side.
Show your support and join us on the boundary lines. Enjoy the games the Aussie way - bring your picnic chairs and blankets and watch the action from the hill or get comfy in your car and follow the games through the windshield.
The tournament’s first bounce is at 11:30 am local time. The Grand Final begins at 17:30 pm.
The winner will be awarded a cup with a touch of local traditions. Instead of ribbons we will tie a martenitsa to the cup.
We’re looking forward to meeting you at the Trebich Stadium.
