  • Football Federation Australia
    FOOTBALL FEDERATION AUSTRALIA ‘NEW LEAGUES WORKING GROUP’ RECOMMENDATIONS REPORT 31 MARCH 2019 Introduction and Overview by the Chair As was the case with the Congress Review Working Group work in 2018, this report and the associated recommendations of the New Leagues Working Group are the result of hundreds of hours of work over the past 6 weeks by the individuals listed at the end of this report, many of whom are volunteers. The unity of purpose comes from a shared passion for outcomes that deliver for the good of Australian football. The legal, constitutional, commercial and social issues that underpin the New Leagues Working Group mandate are in many places intertwined, hence added complexity for the NLWG in delivering on this mandate within such a short timeframe. Full credit to all those involved. The calibre and depth and breadth of the presentations, submissions, analysis and debate over the last six weeks is singularly impressive. PART 1 - NEW LEAGUES WORKING GROUP 1. Pursuant to Special Resolution 2 passed by the Members of Football Federation Australia Limited (FFA) at the General Meeting held on 2 October 2018, the New Leagues Working Group (NLWG) was established to consider and propose an Alternate A-League Governance Model for the Professional Australian Football Leagues, comprising of the A- League, W-League and the Y-League. (the Professional Leagues). A copy of that resolution is attached as Appendix 1. 2. In terms of NLWG members, Item 2 of Special Resolution 2 provides that: “The NLWG will comprise of the following members: (a) nine (9) Presidents of State Body Members; (b) five (5) A-League Club Chairs; (c) two (2) members of the PFA executive; (d) two (2) members of the Women’s Football Council; (e) two (2) FFA Directors; (f) members of FFA management, as required; and (g) an independent, non-voting Chair.” Final Report - 31 March 2019 Page | 2 3.

  • Australian Domestic Match Calendar 2021-22
    Football Australia Circular Circular No.21-04 30 July 2021 TO THE MEMBERS OF FOOTBALL AUSTRALIA AUSTRALIAN DOMESTIC MATCH CALENDAR 2021-22 The purpose of this circular is to notify Members of the Australian football Domestic Match Calendar (DMC) for the period 2021-22 (DMC 2021-22). A copy of the DMC 2021-2022 is available on Football Australia’s website. As noted in Football Australia Circular No 21-01 – Australian Domestic Match Calendar, the XI Principles for the Future of Australian Football (XI Principles), in particular Principle IV, emphasises the importance of a national football calendar to facilitate the realignment of the Australian competitions and to assist in the reconnection of the Australian football pyramid. The DMC 2021, which was released in February 2021, was an initial interim step towards a more harmonised calendar and consequently, enhanced alignment of competitions. The release of the DMC 2021-22 is the next phase in reconnecting the pyramid. Developing the DMC 2021-22 in a COVID environment has been challenging, but the release marks the culmination of an extensive stakeholder consultation process. The consultation process has reaffirmed the key objectives and principles of the DMC, being: (a) uniting football via enhanced alignment of domestic football opportunities which consequently positively affect participation and engagement; (b) further integration of the DMC with FIFA’s International Match Calendar (IMC) and AFC’s calendar; and (c) transparent communication of club football and national team activities,

  • Disciplinary and Ethics Committee
    FOOTBALL FEDERATION OF AUSTRALIA DISCIPLINARY AND ETHICS COMMITTEE DETERMINATION OF THE COMMITTEE IN THE FOLLOWING MATTER: Player and club Michael Marrone of Adelaide United Alleged offence Serious unsporting conduct Date of alleged offence 21.11.2017 Occasion of alleged offence Match between Sydney FC and Adelaide United (FFA Cup Final) Date of Disciplinary Notice 22.11.2017 Basis the matter is before A referral: see clause 24.4(b) the Disciplinary Committee Date of Hearing Tuesday 28.11.2017 Date of Determination 30.11.2017 Disciplinary Committee John Marshall SC, Chair Members Lachlan Gyles SC, Deputy Chair Rob Wheatley A. INTRODUCTION 1. This matter concerns an incident which occurred between Michael Marrone (the Player) and a ball-boy where the Player made contact with a ball-boy and the ball- boy finished up on the ground. It is unacceptable for anyone assisting in the conduct of any game to be knocked to the ground by a player, let alone in the A- League or FFA Cup. No previous case which has involved a ball-boy or ball-girl has come before the Committee. Nevertheless, there have been instances where players have made contact with referees and other match officials and in such cases the Committee has applied a zero tolerance approach. Assuming the Player did not intend to knock the ball-boy to the ground, his conduct was nevertheless reckless and it is clearly inappropriate that a young ball-boy finished on the ground and could have been injured as a direct effect of the Player’s actions. 2. The Player’s evidence was that he thought that the ball-boy might not give him the ball “so I was going to have to grab it”.

  • 2017 the 2017 FFA Cup Delivered More Goals Than Ever, Well Above the Scoring Rate of the A-League, Which Is Already High Amongst Leagues Globally
    G T H E I N T P L R A O Y P E P R U S The PFA S B E U M I L A D G I N E FFA Cup G T H Report 2017 A F P F F A E C H U T P R E P O R T 2 0 7 About this 1 Report Last year, the PFA delivered its inaugural FFA Cup Report, highlighting trends from the first three editions of the competition. The PFA has again partnered with Australian football statistician Andrew Howe to update the data for the fourth FFA Cup and introduce new analyses of crowds and player movements between A-League and NPL clubs. The FFA Cup has captured Australia’s imagination by creating a footprint that is truly national in its breadth and uniquely inclusive in its depth. As discussions advance regarding the urgent need to expand the professional footprint in Australia, the FFA Cup provides a valuable touchstone when approaching the logistical, architectural and geographical questions that need to be asked. We believe it is therefore critical to produce research such as this to ensure future discourse is supported by data and evidence. The PFA believes a better-informed game leads to more impactful football education, analysis and decision-making.
