A-League Women News
A-League Women players don't want to take industrial action but feel like they aren't being listened to by the Australian Professional Leagues (APL) as their pay dispute rolls on.
What happened to the A-Leagues' CBA? Can a season start without one? Are the players going on strike? Joey Lynch explains it all.
The stalemate over the rollout of a new pay deal for the A-Leagues has taken a fresh turn with the competition's bosses publicly declaring their intention to re-open negotiations in a bid to stave off the threat of industrial action.
The Central Coast Mariners will have a little more than two months to assemble a competitive A-League Women squad and hire an entire coaching staff after new investors ended months of uncertainty by stepping in to ensure the team's survival.
"Why don't they come to the A-League!?" is a familiar question that arises every time a Premier League team tours Australia. As always in football, the answer is not quite straightforward.
