WAFC Statement: AFL-listed players in State Leagues

May 12, 2020 | WA Football
Back to articles

The West Australian Football Commission was made aware of the AFL’s ruling today that no AFL-listed player will be permitted to participate in a second-tier competition in 2020.

This has significant implications for the WAFL competition and will need to be taken into account for all of our planning around what a 2020 WAFL season may look like.

We remain focussed on getting a WAFL season underway at some point this year and will work through all of the available options and scenarios with our clubs.

Further updates will be provided once we have fully explored the impact of this decision with our clubs.
