Founded in 2011, the American FootGolf League manages the Major League of the Sport of FootGolf (AFGL Tour) and the Amateur FootGolf Tour (USFootGolf Tour) in the United States. The American FootGolf Federation (AFGF) is the Non Profit branch and Governing Body for the sport of FootGolf in the U.S. and exclusive American member under the umbrella of the Federation for International FootGolf (FIFG). The AFGL represented the United States at the first FootGolf World Cup in the beautiful city of Budapest, Hungary in June 2012, won the Gold Medal in National Teams Category at the FIFG World Cup 2016 in Buenos Aires, Argentina and received the Bronze Medal at the FIFG World Cup 2018 in Marrakesh. Morocco.
The founders of the AFGL helped to launch the FIFG and co-founded the other two Member Countries of the Federation for International FootGolf in North America: the Federacion Mexicana de FootGolf, and the FootGolf Association of Canada. The AFGL organizes or sanctions all tournaments of the American FootGolf Federation.
The AFGL is planning a community-based tournament event in January at Chimera Golf Course with fan zones, activities, vendor tables, nonprofit partners, and other sponsors. The event in January will include a team event between the US National Team and the Mexican National Team, the Battle of the Border, which should bring an incredible field of international players as well as some of the best of the US team. Our hope at the event is to engage more people in FootGolf, specifically youth. We do have a couple of non profit partners, FEAT of Southern Nevada (focused on serving children and families with Autism) and CARE Coalition (substance abuse prevention focused organization), who will be helping us engage various community groups. We do have plans to hold a FootGolf camp with FEAT of Southern Nevada in the spring, which we will announce during the tournament. And CARE Coalition is looking to add FootGolf to their programming supported through the Police Athletic League partnership they have for prevention programming. As part of the event we will be holding several raffles and an auction to raise funds to support expanded FootGolf opportunities locally and develop a process and approach to expand FootGolf in other markets where we have players, clubs, or regularly scheduled tournaments.
