Football Australia Statement

Football Australia supports the position expressed by our Confederation, the Asian Football Confederation, that the events of recent weeks must now be met with clear and credible action that continues to strengthen governance, transparency and accountability within FIFA.

Our focus remains on ensuring there is a transparent and appropriately independent process to understand what occurred, how and why it occurred, identify where governance, communication and decision-making processes fell short, and ensure the necessary lessons are learned and appropriate measures are taken to strengthen those systems and reduce the risk of such circumstances arising again.

Football Australia will continue to engage actively and constructively with and through our Confederation, the AFC, and alongside our fellow Member Associations as this process progresses.
