  • Football Federation Australia
    Football (Soccer): Football Federation Australia “I’d argue with kids at school and they all were convinced that rugby league was the most popular world sport. That shows how isolated Australia was. Soccer had to be introduced by migrants. We’ve come a long way.”1 Brazilian Ambassador once wondered whether Australians had a linguistic or an anatomical problem, since they seemed to reserve the term ‘football’ for games in Awhich the players predominantly use their hands.2 Such is the seeming contradiction in Australia where the term for the game played with the feet is called soccer and football (which is rugby league, rugby union or Aussie rules depending on where you live) is played mostly with the hands. Football is no longer the poor cousin of the ‘big four’ national sports in Australia – cricket, rugby league, Australian rules football and rugby union. Following the 2006 FIFA World Cup, the game has finally come of age in Australia and is starting to seriously challenge the other sports for spectator, sponsor and media support. Tracing football’s roots Playing a ball game using the feet has been happening for thousands of years. Early history reveals at least half a dozen different games, varying to different degrees, which are related to the modern game of football. The earliest form of the game for which there is reliable evidence dates back to the 2nd and 3rd centuries B.C. in China. Another form of the game, also originating in the Far East, was the Japanese Kemari, which dates from about 500 to 600 years later and is still played today.3 However, it is almost certain that the development of the modern game took place in England and Scotland.

INTRODUCTION 1. This matter concerns an incident which occurred between Brendon Santalab (the Player) and Ali Abbas (the Complainant) during the Sydney derby which took place at Allianz Stadium on 8 March 2014. 2. A complaint was lodged with the FFA on 10 March 2014 regarding an alleged racist comment by the Player. This Committee was constituted to deal with the complaint and to determine whether an offence had been committed by the Player, as alleged. 3. The Committee dealt with the complaint over two lengthy hearings, and reserved its decision. It is intended that these reasons shall be made public, and hence the specifics of the charge are not disclosed to avoid potential prejudice or harm to those involved. While this may make the reasons more difficult to follow, we believe that it remains in the public interest to expose our reasoning, to the extent possible, to avoid speculation about that.
