Australian rules football in East Timor
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Australian rules football in East Timor has been played sporadically since the country's independence in 1999 saw a large number of Australian Defence Force personnel stationed in the country. In 2001 an organisation named the Timor Lorosae Australian Futeball Associacao (TILAFA) was formed in Dili and there were plans to send a team to the Arafura Games in Darwin[1], although this organisation appears to have disappeared.
In early 2006 two teachers from Kambrya College, a secondary school in the outer-eastern Melbourne suburb of Berwick, visited a partner-school in the village of Letefoho, Ermera district as part of the Friends of Ermera organisation, holding clinics in Australian rules football in addition to donating other sporting and educational materials[2].
