A-League Men News

South Melbourne is launching an ambitious and romantic bid to return to the Pacific fold in the OFC Professional League.

A-Leagues commissioner Nick Garcia is set to depart his position at the Australian Professional Leagues (APL) multiple sources have told ESPN, leaving the Australian top-flight without leadership heading into a critical juncture.

Football Australia's head of referees Jon Moss has defended the standard of A-League officiating, saying that clubs had been "more than happy" with how the competition had been overseen this season.

After a busy month, ESPN's Joey Lynch has run the rule over some of the most notable incomings and outgoings in the Australian top flight.

Macarthur's bid for an A-League Men finals berth has been dealt a hammer blow, with captain Valere Germain citing Australian refereeing standards as reason to terminate his contract.
