Football Federation Australia (FFA) seeks to clarify the matter before the FFA independent Disciplinary Committee in Sydney tonight, following an erroneous statement from Perth Glory Football Club earlier today.
The Disciplinary Committee will hear Perth Glory’s application that the board of FFA had no power to impose sanctions on the Club for breaches of the salary cap.
The committee will not be hearing an appeal against the FFA’s salary cap determination and associated penalties, as claimed by Perth Glory in its statement.
For the record, Perth Glory has not lodged an appeal against the FFA determination, which excludes Perth Glory from the Hyundai A-League Finals Series and imposes a fine of $269,000.
Tonight’s hearing commences at 5.30pm AEST and is closed to the media.
