FIFA, AFC back Australia's football federation

"According to the AFC Statutes, only one national association shall be officially recognized in each country by the AFC," the statement said. [...] the AFC will only recognize and deal with FFA on all football matters concerning Australia. "At this stage FFA does not intend to respond to this farcical outburst, which is clearly intended to deflect attention from the real issue ? that Gold Coast United FC Pty Ltd under Clive Palmer has shown that it will not comply with the rules and regulations of the competition in accordance with the agreement they signed," Buckley said. The relationship between Palmer and the FFA has long been strained, and last month the Gold Coast owner was quoted in a newspaper describing the team as insignificant, the competition as a joke and rating rugby league as a better game.
