Football Federation Australia (FFA) said the AGM would be held on Nov. 30, the same day as FIFA's deadline for a governance shake-up. That would effectively mean sacking the FFA's board and taking over governance of the sport in Australia. A joint FIFA-Asian Football Confederation delegation came to Australia in August in a bid to help end the dispute but left without brokering an agreement. The clubs, who say they generate 80 percent of revenues for football in Australia, want at least five seats but the FFA have offered them only four. "They will expand the size of the Congress and deliver greater diversity, significantly increase representation of the professional game and women’s football."
