For the first three rounds of the season, the Womens+ competition is hosting these exhibition games to try and get more women to play, especially those new to the sport.
The idea is that for the first week there will be lots of time for coaching during the game, rules (in particular around...
Pre Season for the Toronto Dingos kicks off this Saturday, 7th February.
As always, the club is on the look out for new players - be you an experienced footballer, or new to the game.
The club is continuing to grow with players from all over the globe including Canada, Australia, Ireland, UK...
Pre Season footy for the Toronto Dingos gets underway this weekend, for anyone interested in having a kick.
Know a number of other Ontario clubs have also already started training ahead of the 2026 season!
Great to see that the 49th Parallel Cup is back for 2026!

Imagine all teams will see a good turnover of players, with players retiring, injured or moving away.

Out of interest, what would your suggestion be for creating said truly national event? Timing...
It is great in the AFLO to have a 10 game 18-a-side regular season stretching from End of May to End of August.
Yet once the season ends I think everyone is ready for it to be done.
So the timing of a National Champs really does need to be looked into.
Weather in Toronto that weekend was great...
We did chat about it briefly on the day. I would like to think that we would, but would all depend on timing.
We even saw that post a long season (10 regular games over summer plus 3 rounds of finals in Sept) players were burnt out & injured and our numbers for the Champs dropped from 24 with...
