AF2 (styled as af2 and short for arenafootball2) was the name of the Arena Football League's developmental league; it was founded in 1999 and played its first season in 2000. Like 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 per game.

Ven, no te equivoques, sintate, se un hombre, aclaremos dudas y en paz, si los amigos no me ven suficiente bien para ti, me importa un higo, eres tu, solo tu, quien vas a decidir... Mrame a los ojos, no dir nada, mira mis ojos, no me des la espalda. Mrame a los ojos, sobran las palabras, mira mis ojos ve lo que siento. Mrame a los ojos, no dir nada, mira mis ojos, no me des la espalda, mrame a los ojos, sobran las palabras, mira mis ojos, dime lo que ves ah. Desde los zapatos a lo que hay debajo, el peinado, todo, te di. Sin trampa ni cuento, ni gato encerrado, tal como tena que ocurrir. Hoy si tu mano toma fuerte la ma, es elctrico, la adrenalina, nos coloca a los dos, creo que esto es amor... Mrame a los ojos, no dir nada, mira mis ojos, no me des la espalda, mrame a los ojos, sobran las palabras, mira mis ojos, ve lo que siento por ti...
