Vic teams announced for 2024 Toyota AFL Open
AFL Victoria is excited to announce the following players and coaches have been selected to be part of Team Victoria at the 2024 Toyota AFL Open.
The 2024 Toyota AFL Open is the AFL's new flagship national event for footballers with an intellectual disability and wheelchair players.
Set to take place for the first time at South Pine Sports Complex in Queensland between November 21-26, the 2024 Toyota AFL Open will see more than 200 players represent their state and territory, competing for coveted national titles in the Wheelchair or Inclusion competitions.
Previously held across two events known as the Toyota AFL National Inclusion Carnival and the Toyota Wheelchair AFL National Championships, the 2024 Toyota AFL Open aims to elevate and strengthen the competitions by combining both into one major tournament.
More than 90 matches will run concurrently over the course of the five-day event with the inclusion division utilising the grassed oval space and the wheelchair AFL games taking place on the indoor courts.
The new national event and the creation of the AFL Open brand marks the start of a new era for disability inclusion, as the AFL strives to increase participation and boost pathways for people with disability from grassroots to elite.
