FFA chairman Frank Lowy, announced that, after a rigorous process, he and the board of FFA had identified “the best possible combination” to oversee the strategic direction of football for the next phase of its development.
Lowy said former women’s team vice-captain Moya Dodd and recently retired Group Chief Executive of AXA, Les Owen, would be personally supported and nominated by him and the board for election at an Extraordinary General Meeting in Sydney on 3 June. A member of the Socceroos’ 1974 World Cup team, goalkeeper Jack Reilly, who represented Australia 42 times, will also join the board.
Lowy said these developments were an important step for the governance of football and would considerably strengthen the strategic management of the game.
The new board would comprise: Frank Lowy (Chairman); Brian Schwartz (Deputy Chairman); Moya Dodd; Les Owen; Jack Reilly; Ron Walker; and Phil Wolanski.
