Region. More football choices

Football fans in Western Sydney “the most populous football region in the country”, according to Ben Buckley, CEO, of the Football Federation of Australia (FFA), will have a wider choice of games to watch, with the FFA and the Australian Football League (AFL) announcing pushes into the region. The FFA said a team would enter the A-League in 2011 and the AFL’s. Western Sydney club, Team GWS, is expected to join the league in 2012. Mr Buckley said poor crowds and the financial hardships faced by several A-League clubs has forced the FFA's hand to delay Western Sydney’s entry until 2011.
