Tel Aviv Cheetahs Football Club

The Tel Aviv Cheetahs represent a continuation of a decade long history of Australian rules football in Israel.

While many AFL clubs outside Australia typically consist of Australian expats players, the Tel Aviv Cheetahs club chose a grassroots way of developing, and is predominantly Israeli, with a few Australian-born players that help maintain the authentic Australian cultural component as the team management works to adapt the game to a wider Israeli market and attract more local players and partners.

After carrying out a successful crowdfunding campaign[3] that allowed the team to participate in the AFL Euro Cup 2018, the Tel Aviv Cheetahs travelled to Cork, Ireland, to represent Israel on the international stage.

[5] In August 2018 the Tel Aviv Cheetahs became a part of the OddBalls platform in joined effort to develop the game of Australian rules football in Israel.

Among some of the goals are educating Israeli public about the game, development of the national league, and introducing women's teams.
