The first AFL game was played in Boston at Nickerson Field (on the campus of Boston University and formerly Braves Field) on a Saturday night. Bob Dee, a Defensive End for the Patriots out of Holy Cross, scored the first AFL points when he recovered a fumble or forced a safety. The game was in early September 1960
"if you are talking about AFL football then Afl is older then soccer The first game if soccer was played in 1872, November 30th The first game of football was played in 1858, August 7th" WRONG. The dates are right, officially, but the actual game of Association Football (Soccer) is far older, the OFFICIAL rules were made during this period; and although the first official game of American Football was played "first", American Football is actually a VARIATION of Association Football AND Rugby Football. So how can it be OLDER if it's based on Association Football? Foolish child.
Today's Superbowl was fomerly known as the AFL-NFL World Championship Game .
The first Super Bowl championship was the AFL-NFL World Championship Game played on January 15, 1967 between the Green Bay Packers (NFL) and Kansas City Chiefs (AFL). The Packers won 35-10. The annual championship was not officially called the Super Bowl until Super Bowl III in January, 1969, and in 1970 the merger of the AFL and NFL was completed. Beginning with Super Bowl V, the game is between the AFC and NFC Conference champions.
Superbowl I was played in January of 1967 between the Packers (NFL champs) and the Chiefs (AFL champs). Green Bay won the game.
when AFL first began, it was only played in the one Australian state of Victoria, so it used to simply be called the VFL or Victorian football league. then they expanded the game into a nationwide competition and it became the AFL or austrlain football league. there's still a VFL which is a smaller Victorian based league that the coaches of AFL teams go to and watch to pick up new recruits for the major AFL teams. hope this answers your question :) P.S. I'm an Aussie, so I'm not making it up lol.
it was first played in 1858 but the first AFL game was 1990
The first ever game of 'Australian Rules' football was between Melbourne Grammar School and Scotch College in 1858.
