“As the FFA continues to monitor these negotiations, if the parties fail to reach an agreement, the FFA will enter into negotiations in due course,” the FFA said. The FFA is actively following the negotiations between the APFCA and the PFA and continues to strive to assist the parties in these negotiations. As the FFA continues to monitor these negotiations, if the parties do not reach an agreement, it will begin negotiations in due course. Clubs and players have negotiated a peace deal that is expected to end a months-long bitter wage dispute with a new deal expected to be ratified as early as next week. The A League season is set to start in December, although that date remains uncertain. AAP understands that if no agreement can be reached, some clubs will be able to resign from their players as early as Tuesday, when their next round of payment will be due. In particular, the CBA`s adjustments take into account the significantly disrupted international calendars that both teams experienced in 2020, which reduced the ability of Australian national football teams to generate revenue in both the GJ20 and GJ21. FFA, PFA and national players will continue to work together to develop and implement a recovery plan from the effects of COVID-19. James Johnson, FFA Chief Executive: “This agreement ensures that the Socceroos and Westfield Matildas will continue to receive an equal share of our national team revenues, but they also serve to support the financial health of the game at large.” “The agreement ensures that Westfield Matildas will continue to receive a monthly salary, which we consider essential to support our elite players, in line with our `Player First` values. In a pioneering agreement, the Football Association of Australia (FFA) announced equal pay for the women`s and men`s national teams. Clubs are working to reach a significantly reduced salary deal amid the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, which includes a reduced Fox Sports broadcast deal and a loss of revenue from the league and clubs. “So we`re trying to provide support, to leave room for employers and workers to try to reach an agreement.

The Football Association of Australia (FFA) continues to work closely with the A League and W-League clubs (the “Clubs”). during the separation process for a new model for Australian professional leagues, in line with the agreement in principle reached in 2019 and supported by the New Leagues Working Group, the body mandated by the FFA Congress to make recommendations for the optimal future of Australian professional football leagues. FFA boss James Johnson said the deal would “support the financial health of gambling in the broadest sense.” League A must start without threat of union measures with clubs and the players` union on the threshold of signing a new collective agreement for next season. In line with the agreement in principle, the FFA has made gradual practical changes to strengthen the operational control of the clubs and their representative body, the Australian Professional Football Association (APFCA). For the clubs and the APFCA, it was a question of taking control of the negotiations with Professional Footballers Australia (“PFA”) on the collective compensation agreement (“CBA”) for the Professional Leagues. With this amendment, the APFCA assumed the role of “employer representative” and negotiator on behalf of the clubs directly with the PFA, which represents the group of players in CBA matters. The FFA played a more traditional role as a “regulator” in the negotiations. “We have worked with the PFA and domestic players to carefully consider the challenges we face and develop a sustainable agreement that takes into account the environmental challenges we currently face around the world.” “Now that this CBA is over, we look forward to working with players and PFA to develop plans to recover from the pandemic.
