Just under a week after FIFA announced a ‘congress review working group’ (CRWG) would be established in the new year, it has been revealed the partisan A-League clubs could boycott that attempt at resolution.

Ray Gatt reported via The Australian on Wednesday the clubs, represented by the Australian Professional Football Clubs Association (APFCA) and their outspoken chairman Greg Griffin could opt out of the CRWG.

APFCA have threatened to make such a move if FFA chairman Steven Lowy intervenes in the FIFA/Asian Football Confederation-controlled group.

Griffin said in an email sent to Lowy: It “beggars belief that you could believe APFCA would participate in any future process in which you were materially involved”.

Lowy survived a sacking by FIFA when its member associations committee (MAC) opted to employ a CRWG rather than a normalisation committee in what is a last-ditch move to resolve the long-running saga.

“If that was to happen, I would imagine FIFA would take a really strong hard look and suggest to the FFA, ‘you don’t have these numbers, you’re going to have to give on this situation’,” he said.

“That’s the way I read it. The majority support would be behind the clubs so I imagine FIFA would act in favour of the clubs.

“That’s how I would see it but that’s all dependent on the clubs getting that support.

“If they don’t get that support and they boycott, who know where we could lead?”

What if indeed; that is the big question.

Speaking on Wednesday’s Daily Football Show, Gatt said it was likely FIFA would act in favour of the clubs, at least in the first instance.

One such action – indeed with huge ramifications – could be the extreme action of breaking away from FFA.

Gatt believes that option is a possibility.

“Could the clubs form a breakaway? Which would be interesting,” he added.

“That would certainly have to be on the cards I would think … they would break away from the FFA and form their own league.

“Obviously that would have serious consequences in terms of FIFA because those players would then be banned from transferring anywhere or playing for the national team.

“The consequences would be severe, but that might be an option for the clubs. I don’t know if they’d seriously consider it.”

Griffin added in his email the clubs were well aware of the consequences that might come from boycotting FIFA’s process.
