Overview

• Football Australia set 10:00am Thursday, August 21 (AEST) as the cutoff to lodge an appeal, with the right to appeal expiring if none is filed.
• As of Tuesday evening, Western United had not submitted an appeal.
• New signing Jaiden Kucharski left by mutual consent because the FIFA registration ban prevented his registration and debut, with captain Ben Garuccio also unable to be registered for the Australia Cup tie.
• The proposed KAM Sports takeover announced in May remains uncompleted, with the Australian Professional Leagues yet to receive a full ownership proposal after months of late wages and delayed superannuation.
• Uncertainty over Western United’s licence has delayed fixture releases for other clubs ahead of the October A-Leagues season starts.
