List of VFL/AFL players with international backgrounds
This list is incomplete; you can help by . (August 2017) |
This is a list of Australian Football League players that come from diverse backgrounds in terms of nationality and birthplace. 15 per cent of all players are either born overseas or have a parent born overseas.[1] A total of 121 players from a multicultural background (at least one parent born overseas) are among the 817 AFL listed players in 2013. Richmond Football Club has the most multicultural players with 30% and Carlton Football Club has the least with almost 5%.[2] Of the current 121 multicultural players (2015 season), more than half have one parent from Anglophone countries, mainly the United Kingdom, Ireland and New Zealand.[3]
