FFA to review National Club Identity Policy
Football Federation Australia has announced it will conduct a review of the National Club Identity Policy (NCIP).
FFA Chief Executive Officer David Gallop said the policy was introduced in 2014 after consultation with Member Federations to ensure consistency about how clubs were identified.
“The objective of the NCIP is to safeguard the inclusivity of football whilst also enabling appropriate recognition of the rich history of many long-standing football clubs,” said Gallop.
“FFA management has at various stages in recent times debated the effectiveness of the NCIP. This has been prompted by community sentiment along with experience arising from its application at competition-level, including at the FFA Cup, National Premier Leagues and grassroots level,” he said.
Most recently, a club in Northern NSW has indicated its intention to challenge the NCIP through the courts. Whilst FFA believes that such a challenge is unlikely to be successful, it does serve to support a review of its effectiveness in its current form.
Mr. Gallop said as a consequence of all these factors, FFA management recently recommended to the FFA Board that a review of the NCIP be undertaken. This recommendation was endorsed by the FFA Board.
“The consultation process will involve Member Federations, the Association of Australian Football Clubs and the broader football community, including clubs, players, administrators, volunteers and commercial partners.
“At the time of its introduction the Member Federations and the FFA felt it necessary to introduce this policy to ensure the game remained inclusive and accessible to all Australians, and we believe the NCIP has been successful in achieving this objective.
“Since its introduction, we have seen our community clubs and our National Premier League Clubs continue to grow. We have witnessed our Member Federation Clubs compete and succeed on the national stage during the FFA Cup and we have seen how these clubs have been embraced by not only their local communities but by the broader Australian sporting public,” he said.
The review is expected to be completed early next year.

This is better than any advertising campaign the FFA has done in the last few seasons

This is happening because my old club Highfields Azzurri, now Charlestown City Blues, are taking NNSWSF to court.
NNSWSF allows another club to be called Hamilton Azzurri but won't allow this club to be called that.
FFA are doomed knowing this precedence will open the floodgate.

Music during goal kicks and corners at matches and even controlled use of flares will be on trial during the A-League season's first month to attract fans.
UPDATEDUPDATED 3 HOURS AGO

A-League chiefs will trial a suite of new entertainment across the first month of the season to win fans back to the competition.
Safe smoke from flares in the stands, fan-zones modelled on the World Cup and lights and music during play are all on the agenda.
The league's Big Bash-ification is aimed to lure young families to the football after a year of declining crowds and television audiences.
A-League head Greg O'Rourke spent the off-season working with clubs and stadia to develop the plan to cash in on spiking interest from Russia 2018.
"We're fully aware of what the Big Bash entertainment product is and how it attracts young families. We need to make sure we're not closed off to that," O'Rourke said to AAP.

"But equally we need to make sure the things in our game that we hold unique will be maintained. We'll be treading carefully towards this to get the best of both worlds."
O'Rourke is adamant the new bells and whistles will be no substitute for what the sport does best: singing and supporting from the stands.
"We want to see the return and growth of active fans that have a large boisterous entertaining, standing, singing, chanting culture," he continued.
"We've been doing a significant amount of work with the clubs, the police and also the active fan representatives about what would be important to them to attract them back and to allow them to grow."
It's understood authorities and officials on both sides are keen to lift some of the more draconian security measures to make active support appealing again.
A new Melbourne Victory active group to replace the disbanded North Terrace would be a huge boost.
For those less rusted on fans, O'Rourke wants to make matches more entertaining.
Central Coast and Wellington matches will feature safe smoke after their stadiums agreed to trial controlled flare releases from the stands.
Other stadiums will follow suit should those trials work.
Most controversially, there will be music played with accompanying video during goal kicks, corners and substitutions.
"The plan is based on what fans felt was missing out of an end of season review," O'Rourke said.
"Fans wanted more pre-game entertainment, more in-game entertainment and more at halftime.
"Football globally has about 30 minutes when the ball is stopped or out of play. Some of those gaps can be filled.
"But not in the big derbies when you've got big active fans because the natural rhythm of the supporters is the strength of the game.
"When we're at smaller stadiums or bigger stadiums with smaller crowds, we'll use them."
