Due to the popularity of Australian Football here in Stockholm, a 4th team has been formed, Årsta AFC.

Although we will train along with Södermalm, we are a stand alone team and are always looking for new players to join whether you have played before or not.

Thanks to the AFL Sweden and the Richmond Tigers we have a great uniform to get us started. Also many thanks to the Södermalm Blues who have offered free membership to their social club to all Årsta players who have paid their registration. The social club has quite a few benefits including Södermalm AFC Cricket membership and invitations to all Södermalm social events.

Playing footy for Årsta is a great way to meet new mates in Sweden and a chance to show the Swedes just how great the national game of Australia really is. Training for 2009 has started with the season kicking off with a double header on ANZAC day (Saturday 25th April).

Latest News Our First Win!!!!!! After a disapointing first rd loss to Bromma the mighty Årsta Swans fought back hard in rd 2 to defeat last years premiers 9.16.70 - 7.11.53. Starting against the wind we held Solna to a slight lead in the 1st, fighting back to have a small lead at half time. At 3 quarter time the scores were level and we were coming home with the breeze. In an awesome display of mateship and team work we kept the axemen to a 1 point quarter as we added 3 more goals to our tally. Coach’s award went to Sparkles with solid games from Teno, Maca and Scooter. Special mentions to Tom in his first game of AFL and to Simmo playing his first game for Årsta. Trial game is on!!!!!! Friday 17th April Despite the rumours the trial game v solna is on!!!! The bounce is at 6 so get down to the field by 5 30. Damian and Pete will be at the ground at 5 and we could do with a hand setting up, so if you are not doing anything earlier any help will be appreciated. Midweek Training has commenced!! Midweek training has commenced for Årsta and Söder at Årsta Oval. Monday and Wednesday at 18. Our first turnout was great and although our skills deteriorated towards the end of training due to our lack of fitness, there were promising signs that we will be a force to be reckoned with this year. So make the effort to get to training to boost your fitness and fine tune those skills. The dud kick of the night award goes to Pete Wiese for his pathetic first attempt in the goal kicking comp from 15 metres out. Brissels won the comp, with a special mention to Joel for being knocked out twice also to Hans Christian and Andre for a good effort to get to second last round in their first training runs.

After the game head down to O’Connells Bar in Gamla Stan where there is a SAFF function with a discounted meal and a DJ. Trial Game vs. Solna Fri 17th April @ Årsta Oval 6pm. Ok. Here it is the inaugural game for the mighty Årsta AFC. This is an important game even though it is a friendly as its our only chance to play as a group before the season opener against Bromma on 25th April. For first timers its a chance to get a feel for the game and for the coaching staff to look at some strategy and possible playing positions for the early part of the season. So mark it in your calendars and if you have something on already cross it out and lets play footy. For the Södermalm players who aren’t going to Finland you are welcome to join us for a pre season hit out.Training.htmlBlog/Blog.htmlshapeimage_5_link_0shapeimage_5_link_1
