(Editor's note, it is not the governing body for soccer in Australia, although is it the most popular and powerful. Many state soccer organisations are not looked after by Football federation and it certainly does not own Soccer in Australia). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Silat 1981 (talk • contribs)

The state federations are part of the national structure, and are looked after by Football Australia. Tancred 21:17, 13 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ok I'll concede on that. But it does not govern THE sport in Australia, it is just the main one. It is A governing body, not THE governing body. There are many leagues who are not associated with them and I personally do not want it to look like they govern my side (which they certainly do not). By saying it is the governing body makes it look like they own soccer in Australia, which they do not.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Silat 1981 (talk • contribs)

All the state federations come underneath the FFA - the FFA doesn't govern everything about the sport but they are the governing body. Is the Federal Government not the Government of Australia, even though we have state and local governments beneath them? Cursive 14:19, 16 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
