Fiji is the latest country in the Asia-Pacific to officially welcome Australian Rules football. The Australian Football League Fiji has been launched with the aim of exposing more Fijian schoolchildren to the sport and offering them an alternative to rugby. The sport's profile has already been boosted by the drafting of three Fijian-born players to Australian teams.
