Tasmania Devils Football Club |
Hello and welcome to AFL, Tasmania.
The Tasmania Devils will play its first AFL game at Hobart Stadium at Macquarie Point in 2028.
The AFL men's team is expected to enter the competition in the 2028 season, while a proposed timeline for a women's team entry into the AFLW competition will be worked through shortly.
Premier Rockliff suggested games would be played in the North, the South, and the North-West to ensure this is a truly Tasmanian team.
Details of the club's training and administration base will be worked through in coming months, while a community campaign will be launched to select the brand of the new club, including name, logo, guernsey and song.
