Australian commercial broadcaster Seven has struck a deal to show live coverage of an Australian Football League-sanctioned women's exhibition Aussie rules match on August 16 between Melbourne and the Western Bulldogs.
The match will be broadcast live at 12.30pm in Melbourne.
Seven said that it is in “pre-production with the AFL” for what will be “a history-making AFL television first in Australia.” The broadcaster added that it would have more details in the “coming weeks.”
This is the first year that the AFL has sanctioned two women's matches involving players from all over Australia who nominated for a draft.
