Aussie rules football will kick off again on June 11, with the second round of the Australian Football League to be played almost three months after the competition was suspended because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Australian Football League chief executive Gillon McLachlan on Friday announced the matches for the next four rounds of the condensed season would be released within 10 days.
The AFL, Australia's most-watched sports league in terms of attendance and TV audience, was suspended on March 22 after one round.
Quarantine requirements and travel restrictions from some states means players and staff from the four AFL clubs from Western Australia and South Australia the West Coast Eagles, Fremantle Dockers, Adelaide Crows and Port Adelaide will be temporarily be relocated to hubs on the Gold Coast, an hour south of Brisbane.
"Today in this brave new world ... I want to announce that our AFL competition is returning," McLachlan said.
"From Monday all clubs will return to training and all AFL clubs will resume full contact training a week later.
"Today is a significant step in getting footy back for everyone ... we know as this situation continues to evolve we have to be agile and continue to adapt as necessary."
