THE 2022 Toyota AFL National Inclusion Carnival concludes on Thursday with a full day of finals to be held at the Angaston Football Club in the Barossa Valley, South Australia.
Teams from SA, Western Australia, Victoria Metro, Victoria Country, Northern Territory, Tasmania, Queensland and New South Wales/ACT all competed for the title this week for the first time since 2019, with the past two carnivals cancelled because of the pandemic.
First played in 2014, the National Inclusion Carnival is an annual representative tournament for men with an intellectual disability and showcases these footballers to the broader community.
South Australia is hosting the carnival for the first time, with more than 200 players, coaches, umpires, volunteers and administrators involved this year.
The eight teams (12-a-side) played a lightning carnival format over the first two days, with the top four teams going into Division One and the bottom four teams going into Division Two for pool matches on Wednesday, before finals take place on Thursday.
