More than 30 home golf equipment together with powerhouses South Melbourne and controversy-plagued Sydney United 58 wish to be a part of Football Australia‘s proposed national second-tier men’s competitors.
The window for official expressions of curiosity closed on Monday’ with 32 golf equipment from throughout the nation declaring their curiosity in becoming a member of what would in the end be a ten to 16-team competitors.
Victorian-based South Melbourne missed out on the A-League licence handed to Western United in 2018 and is taken into account one of many largest home golf equipment within the nation.
Sydney United 58 has been mired in controversy after spectators had been banned and fined for making Nazi salutes throughout final 12 months’s Australia Cup last.
Eight groups from Victoria, 10 from NSW and 7 from Queensland dominate the listing of golf equipment that formally expressed their curiosity.
The formulation of the second-tier competitors stays the topic of ongoing discussions, however the prospect of promotion and relegation to the A-League for second-tier groups is barely possible as soon as it’s “mature”.
Football Australia chief govt James Johnson stated the second-tier competitors may “realign” soccer competitions throughout the nation.
“We underwent a lengthy consultation process last year, so we knew there would be great interest and we are thrilled with the level of interest shown in the EOI phase and the calibre of clubs which have expressed their interest,” he stated.
“It is also pleasing to see that we have received submissions from right across Australia, demonstrating that our football clubs have a deep desire and aspiration to compete at a national level. The national second tier provides the perfect platform for them to do so.
“Australian football has undergone a journey of transformation over the last two years, and the establishment of a national second tier which reconnects and realigns Australian football competitions is an important element of Football Australia’s 15-year vision for the game.
“The receipt of EOI submissions is another crucial step in bringing our vision for the game to life.”
The subsequent part of the method will included golf equipment submitting extra detailed proposals, with the hope the competitors will probably be prepared to start in 2024.
