The US Footy Men's Team will head to Melbourne August 24th, 2008 to participate in the 2008 International Cup. Included in the Revo squad are Milwaukee Bombers Bruce Beilfuss and Andy Vanica.

The third Australian Football International Cup will be staged in Warrnambool and Melbourne in August and September 2008.

The event will feature during the Australian Football 150 year celebrations. Matches will be played in Melbourne from Wednesday August 27 with teams in Warrnambool from Sunday August 31 until Thursday September 4. Two rounds of matches will be played on Reid Oval, Mack Oval and Walter Oval.

Australian Football is played by over 30,000 participants in over 30 countries around the world. This August, over 16 countries will converge in Melbourne and Warrnambool for the third International Cup.

Never before has the Cup hosted this many countries, and the event takes on greater significance this year as Australia celebrates the 150th birthday of its Indigenous game.
