Professional Footballers Australia Presents Long-Term Vision For W-League

A "longer season, clear career paths and improved wages all feature in a new plan" by Professional Footballers Australia to bolster the W-League, according to the AAP. Frustrated with "a slow going from Football Federation Australia to grow the league," the PFA unveiled its "60 at 60" initiative on Tuesday. It aims to have 60 Australian players earning at least A$60,000 ($46,000) annually from the sport. Entitled "grassroots to greatness," the ambition is to win Gold at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics or the World Cup in '22. A "starting point is increased investment from FFA" to raise the current A$50,000 ($38,400) allocated to each team per season to A$175,000 ($134,400) (AAP, 2/21).
