It's about time some mods started being fair
We ponder is there any co-operation between AFL India and Reclink Mumbai. Hope footy politics is not involved.
My sentiments exactly.

Good find - We think it maybe one of these matches but not sure. The description of the match looks right.
Found this to be quite amazing. Not sure what is happening to be honest.

Whilst the 2 Links at the end relate to the development of AF in Pakistan, & locally in Melb., there are synergies between the 2 countries (English speaking middle class, many big ovals). It is EXTRAORDINARY that Pakistan is also sending a women's team to the 2017 IC in Melb. in August- they will probably be flogged, as their development is very recent.
There are far more people of Indian background in Australia cf. to Pakistan. However, the Pakistani community in Melb. receives support from Australian Lebanese Muslims -many of whom play local AF at a high standard.
The Pakistani Shaheens men's team plays irregularly in Melb., local Multicultural Cup etc. -but there is speculation that, if its standards continue to improve, it might eventually join the VAFA.
(Masala FC, co-founded by Indian- Australians & Euro.-Australians in 2012, is improving each year, but still struggles on field. It has succeeded in forming a vibrant, multicultural club, & is growing. See:-
www.masalafc.com.au)
There is a good, friendly rivalry developing between the local AF Indian & Pakistani communities. More info. on the Shaheens:-

Their Pool match against Pakistan on August 11 at 7pm at Golden Square.
These two countries have a huge sports rivalry going back years, and this match should bring out the expats in big numbers.
We do not know much about Pakistan .
2 AFL Clubs also are planning to eventually hold a game in India.
Perhaps the mooted introduction of AFLX may generate much more interest.
We do not know if Reclink India are assisting in any way.
More updates.
There are two groups developing footy in India -AFL India and Reclink India and they are operating under the one umbrella.
Reclink are Mumbai based.
The@Monash Uni Cats vs the Indian Tigers@AFL match here in Mumbai recently. Tigers won by a couple of goals on the same dusty ground that Sachin Tendulkar player cricket on as a boy!
The photos indicated that the Cats had a mixed team and the Tigers were all local men.
They were competing to win the 2019 Melbourne Monash University Cup and Monash have been in India for several years.
Reclink India footy stalwart Sumesh Suwant recently tweeted a great figure for our game up there.
At the end of 2018 there were 15 Indian States that had a footy presence and that Womens participation was also increasing and that the AFLW was being promoted as well.
India has 29 States and 7 Territories so there is a fair bit of potential for our sport.
The AFL Richmond Tigers are increasingly getting involved up there with visits and their promotions of our great game, and are tipped to play up there sometime in the future.
