Australian Rules is a fast-paced team sport played primarily in Australia. It combines elements of football, rugby, and soccer, featuring two teams of 18 players each. The objective is to score points by kicking a ball between goalposts. Players can use any part of their body to move the ball, but it must be kicked or handballed to teammates. The game is played on an oval field, often a modified cricket ground. Matches consist of four quarters, and the team with the most points at the end wins. AFL (Australian Football League) is the sport's premier professional competition, showcasing the best talent in the country.
