The Australian Football English/Chinese Dictionary

A collaboration between the Port Adelaide Football Club, The University of South Australia and CCTV5+.

The Footy Dictionary is an open access, online dictionary that provides Chinese translation of key words from the Australian Football League (AFL).

Why Translate Australian Football?

The game of AFL has a strong international following.

As the game expands into new contexts, we want non-native English speakers to have the opportunity to engage with the AFL in their first language.

The Footy Dictionary is very easy to use. Simply click on an AFL word and you will find the Chinese translation.
