In the wake of yet another salary cap scandal dogging Australian sport, Football Federation Australia is ready to make the A-League the first competition in this country to make public the wages of its players.

The FFA has monitored the impact of the decision to do the same in North American sports and believes it has become a key flank of transparency in those competitions.

The idea has been canvassed around Whitlam Square for several years but the governing body will look to table the idea to various stakeholders in the weeks ahead, with a view to implementing the strategy next season.

Outgoing head of A-League Damien de Bohun says publishing the salaries of A-League players is an idea worth exploring – and believes it will help drive public interest in the sport.
