    Training compensation - Solidarity payments The business of A-League, NPL& community clubs? Past FFA/FA and State fed down fall

    The promotion of SAP aged 8-12(13) years of age players and youth tournaments means that A-League clubs can have the pick of the bunch of young players as did state feds like what has occurred in South Australia with the NTC and Adelaide United.

    Serie A 🇮🇹

    I find it a very odd situation that the Supercoppa Italiana was held at the King Saud University Stadium in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and the Lega Serie A was able to appoint their own Andrea Colombo as the referee as well as their own VAR's with no AFC intrusion. If the AFC have not allowed the...
