FFA's A-League expansion delay continues to confound

The number of groups interested in Australia's top tier has reached 12 and yet head office says football can't afford to grow

COMMENT

Ahead of Sunday's A-League grand final, two more groups have officially declared their intention to one day compete for the title of Australian champions.

The widespread interest in joining the A-League is unquestionable - FC Brisbane City have become the 12th group to publically launch a bid, while Casey-Dandenong have received local government support at an official event this week.

Last week, a Canberra consortium threw their hat into the ring alongside the likes of Southern Expansion, FC Tasmania and Wollongong Wolves.
