World Footy BnF - Alex "Rafa" Rafalowicz - Chair of the Board of the AFL Colombia

Host Adam Gomolinski interviews Alex "Rafa" Rafalowicz, Chair of the Board of the AFL Colombia, about how his Adelaide footy fandom reignited in Bogotá in 2017 and helped transform an expat kickaround into a predominantly Colombian Football Team. Rafa recounts early milestones like the Andes Cup win in Chile, launching a three-team Bogotá league, and growing participation through clinics with young people. He explains challenges such as language, legal recognition, and especially securing grounds and Colombia’s 2024 Transatlantic Cup experience in Toronto.
