Who We Are


We are the Daly River's Buffaloes Football Club! We're thrilled to have you here and can't wait to share our story with you.

More than just
a Football Club

We're a tight-knit community of people who are committed to advancing social and public welfare, uplifting the Nauiyu community and the Daly River region through sports, and promoting healthy life choices.

Our mission is to develop homegrown locals in a remote community for the benefit of their future to have the skills, tools, and confidence to participate in mainstream Australia utilizing AFL for development and then ongoing educational and career pathways. We believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to succeed, and we're committed to providing our community with the resources they need to achieve their goals.


We also aim to impart life skills to be model citizens through our club's code of ethics and conduct 'on and off the field'. We want our members to be respected both on and off the field, and to embody the values of respect, dignity, and pride in everything they do.

We're passionate about football, and we're committed to creating an inclusive and diverse environment for all within the club, community, and surrounds. We value the contribution of volunteers and strive to increase community involvement, engaging the community by inclusion through the football club, alleviating social and emotional isolation within the community.

We're also focused on promoting the benefits of sport for healthy life choices and mental wellbeing.

Our outlook is to reduce youth anti-social behavior, domestic violence, suicide, and alcohol and other drug abuse. We believe that by providing a safe, family-oriented club, we can foster a positive and supportive community that promotes healthy lifestyles and reduces social isolation among remote community members.


Finally, we're committed to working in an honest, open, and transparent environment. We believe in fostering a safe family-oriented club that will be utilized as a community shed (Men's shed/Women's shed), which will focus on advancing health, including mental health, preventing social isolation among remote community members, and enhancing social and emotional wellbeing, with an open membership to all.



We're proud to be a part of the Nauiyu (Daly River) community, and we're clear about what we contribute to the community. We support our community wherever we can, and we're committed to making a positive impact in the lives of the people around us. Thank you for taking the time to learn about who we are, and we hope to see you on the field soon!
