Football Federation Australia (FFA) has announced that the reduction in the foreign player cap per club from 5 to 4 has been deferred until Season 13 in 2017/18.

Previously, the reduction was to come into effect from Season 11 in 2015/16.

The Board of FFA decided to defer the reduction at its meeting last week, based on a review by the FFA Technical Department and submissions from Hyundai A-League clubs.
