The AF2 (often styled as af2, and short for arenafootball2) was the Arena Football League's developmental league; it was founded in 1999 and played its first season in 2000. Like its parent AFL, the AF2 played using the same arena football rules and style of play. League seasons ran from April through July with the postseason and ArenaCup championship in August. The AF2 continued to operate while the AFL suspended operations for its 2009 season. The league was effectively disbanded in September 2009 when no team committed to playing in 2010, but several of the stronger franchises transferred into the reconstituted AFL.

Like its parent AFL, the AF2 played using the same arena football rules and style of play. League seasons ran from April through July with the postseason and ArenaCup championship in August. The AF2 continued to operate while the AFL suspended operations for its 2009 season. The league was effectively disbanded in September 2009 when no team committed to playing in 2010, but several of the stronger franchises transferred into the reconstituted AFL. Like most other minor sports leagues, the AF2 existed to develop football players and also to help players adapt to the style and pace of arena football. In addition, the AF2 was similar to other minor leagues because AF2 teams played in smaller cities and smaller venues. While the AFL was played in cities like Los Angeles, New York City, Philadelphia, Dallas, and Chicago, the AF2 fielded teams in cities which are part of metropolitan statistical areas ranging in size from Milwaukee (with 1,739,497 residents) to Albany, Georgia (with 164,000 residents). Also in common with other minor professional sports leagues, players also earned less than in the AFL, with each player making $200-$500 per game, with a minimum $50 victory bonus. (en)
  • L'AF2 (souvent dénommé af2 et abréviation de arenafootball2) était la ligue de développement de l'Arena Football League; elle a été fondée en 1999 et a disputé sa première saison en 2000. Comme la ligue mère, l'AFL, l’AF2 a joué selon les mêmes règles et le même style de jeu. Les saisons de ligue se sont déroulées d’avril à juillet avec des playoffs et le championnat Arena Cup en août. L’AF2 a continué à fonctionner alors que l’AFL ait suspendu ses opérations pour la saison 2009. La ligue a été dissoute en septembre 2009 alors qu'aucune équipe ne s'était engagée à jouer en 2010, mais plusieurs des franchises les plus solides ont été transférées dans l'AFL reconstitué en 2010. Comme la plupart des autres ligues mineures sportives, l'af2 avait pour but de développer des joueurs de football et les aider à s'adapter au modèle du football américain en salle. L'af2 est semblable à d'autres ligues mineures car ses équipes jouent dans des villes et salles plus petites qu'en AFL. En effet, l'AFL est jouée dans des villes comme Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphie, Dallas, Tampa, Las Vegas, et Chicago, bien plus importantes que celles où évoluent les équipes af2 comme North Little Rock, Green Bay, Huntsville, Manchester, Oklahoma City, Boise, Spokane, Louisville et Tulsa. Les salaires des joueurs de l'af2 sont également moindres puisqu'ils gagnent environ 250 $ USD par match. (fr)
  • L'af2 (abbreviazione di arenafootball2) era il nome di una lega statunitense di football a 8 e più precisamente della minor league della Arena Football League. Partita nel 2000, la sua stagione si svolgeva fra aprile e luglio. Come la maggior parte delle minor league nei vari sport, l'af2 esisteva per sviluppare giocatori per la serie maggiore. Le squadre erano legate a città ed impianti più piccoli della lega maggiore: l'AFL era giocata in città come Los Angeles, New York, Filadelfia, Dallas, Tampa, Las Vegas e Chicago, mentre l'af2 in altre come North Little Rock, Green Bay, Huntsville, Manchester, Oklahoma City, Boise, Spokane, Louisville e Tulsa. Con la cancellazione della stagione 2009 della Arena Football League, la Af2 cessò di esistere. Gli ultimi campioni furono gli Spokane Shock che in seguito passarono alla nuova incarnazione della AFL nel 2010. (it)
