Arizona Hawks to host 2025 USAFL Nationals!
The Arizona Hawks finish the 2024 season with a win over the Nashville Kangaroos at the USAFL Nationals in Austin, Texas!
The Arizona Hawks 2024 season ended with a well earned victory by the men in the season closer versus the Nashville Kangaroos at the USAFL Nationals in Austin, Texas, including a Best on Ground performance from Tim Duckworth at full back, and a match winning goal from club veteran Brad “Chops” Palumbo. The victory over Nashville punctuated a gritty, hard fought campaign by the Arizona Hawks men at the 2024 Nationals following a heartbreaking 2 point loss to the Chicago Swans and a second round loss to the Minnesota Freeze. The Arizona Hawks women were represented at Nationals by Tracey McLane who played with the Sacramento Suns who finished with a record of 2 wins 2 losses in Women’s Division II
During the off season, the Arizona Hawks will have various events, including a pre-Christmas Flag Footy match at Mesa High School at 9:00 AM on Saturday, December 14, 2024, and an Australia Day Flag Footy Match and sausage sizzle on January 25, 2025 (more details to come).
