A-League Men News

Australian players are pushing for unprecedented A-Leagues salary cap exemptions this season as those left unemployed by the Western United saga rush to find new clubs.

Pride initiatives in sport are well intentioned but, with a string of anti-gay slurs dominating the headlines, the question needs to be asked: What's next?

Sydney FC have reinforced their attacking depth with the addition of Peruvian international Piero Quispe for the upcoming A-League Men season.
