SYDNEY -- Football Federation Australian chairman Steven Lowy will relinquish his post because he is tired of political infighting at the organisation.
Lowy and his father Frank Lowy, the billionaire Westfield co-founder, have been involved in promoting and investing in the sport for more than 50 years.
"I've decided I won't seek re-election when my term is up at the end of November," chairman Lowy told Fox Sports on Friday.
"I had to make a decision by the end of September, but I thought it very important to let the football community know as early as possible that I've made that choice.
