The APL’s decision to bring the next three A-League Men’s and Women’s Grand Finals to Sydney has created much debate and dissatisfaction from many Sydney FC and A-League supporters.
Since the announcement, we have spent time in consultation with representatives of our Membership base, while also taking on board other fan and Member feedback.
Your frustrations and concerns are coming through loud and clear. We hear you and we have shared your views with the APL.
It is our firm belief that the APL Board and management, many of whom have been long-term supporters and advocates of the game in this country, make decisions in the best interests of the A-Leagues.
Given the current commercial realities of professional football in Australia, we understand that this decision was a difficult but necessary one for the growth of the game.
Driving our league in the right direction will require tough decisions from time to time, and tough decisions are not always the most popular ones.
It is critically important the A-Leagues transition to a model that delivers long-term security and sustainability.
We understand to achieve this requires open and frank consultation with our Members and fans and we remain committed to this.
