One of the strongest nations in the world in Australian rules football (or AFL footy) needs support to attend the world cup.
The biggest challenge to putting aside differences and getting a unifying national team to Melbourne is funding.(We're) 45%(chance of making it) but with some funding assistance this can be 75%.
With over 400 adult players to choose from, Nauru can field a very competitive side. But the major cost of flights, as for many developing nations, could prove prohibitive, at around AUD$900 return.
The Nauru Australian Football Association are looking for sponsors and donors to get their national team to this historic event which celebrates 150 years of Australian football.
