Socceroos and Matildas sue Football Australia over revenue share dispute

Socceroos and Matildas players have sued Football Australia as part of a multi-million dollar dispute between the governing body and its national team players.

AAP understands the players’ union, Professional Footballers Australia (PFA), is pursuing FA for a seven-figure sum on behalf of the players.

The union is expected to argue the revenue share agreement between the governing body and national teams players is not being serviced properly.

In a statement FA said it was aware of the PFA’s NSW Supreme Court legal action, which the governing body claimed was related to “a third party in connection with a separate matter currently being conducted before the National Dispute Resolution Chamber (NDRC)”.
