Two of the new directors on the Football Federation Australia board are likely to recuse themselves from the final vote on A-League expansion next month due to potential conflicts of interest with one of the bids.

Remo Nogarotto and Joseph Carrozzi, who were elected to the FFA board at last week's AGM, are carefully considering their positions ahead of the December 12 meeting when a decision on expansion is likely to be made.

There are six groups still in the running to be awarded one of two new licences: Macarthur-South West Sydney, Southern Expansion, Canberra, South Melbourne, Western Melbourne Group and Team 11, who are based in Melbourne's south-east.

Both Nogarotto and Carrozzi have assisted the combined Macarthur-South West Sydney bid in some capacity through their professional lives, although neither has held an official position nor a financial interest.
