AFL New Zealand welcomes the fourth visit in as many years from the Victorian Amateur Football Association (VAFA).

The VAFA could be considered pioneers with their ongoing association with the development of Australian Football within New Zealand.

The AFL has followed this lead and will embark on crossing a similar frontier when St Kilda Football Club takes on 2012 Premiers the Sydney Swans in Wellington on ANZAC Day 2013.

AFL New Zealand has recently formed a partnership with Sport Wellington in a venture that will see more than 4000 boys and girls between the ages of 5 and 12 participate in the AFL KiwiKick Programme.

The New Zealand Hawks Under 20 team has been replaced within the High Performance Programme by the Under 18 team that will now compete in the challenge matches against the VAFA Under 18 representative squad.

Adding to this, New Zealand will also be represented by its ďŹ rst ever female team when a touring AFL9s team from Australia visits Aotearoa in October 2013.

I have no doubt that the efforts of the VAFA have led the way to the opportunities now being presented to AFL within New Zealand.

We look forward to another great weekend of football and hopefully our ďŹ rst victory against the Vics.

The Association has a long and proud history of representative football commencing in 1925.

Over the years, the VAFA has competed against the VFL, VFA, VCFL and state bodies from around Australia. This series against AFL New Zealand represents the fourth time a VAFA representative side has met an international team and continues the tradition that began in 2009.

The VAFA see this tour as an enormous opportunity to not only reward some of the
