The AFL has announced that it will transition Community Football to its new registration and competition management platform, PlayHQ, for season 2022 and beyond.
This follows the successful launch of PlayHQ for NAB AFL Auskick and AFL9s in season 2021. The transition from its current platform ( GameDay, formerly SportsTG / FootyWeb ) to PlayHQ was driven by its desire to provide its Leagues, Clubs, participants, administrators, and hardworking volunteers with a more advanced and user-friendly platform.
The transition aims to significantly reduce the administrative burden on hardworking volunteers and administrators with easy-to-use, intuitive, mobile-friendly technology.
