+x+x+x+x+xCan anyone name one other club in world football that doesn't play in their own country's federation? Not having a go (maybe I am), but I am genuinely interested to know. I think Wellington are to only club in the world in that situation. Happy to be proven wrong. Swansea city for starters ! I don’t see what the confederation has to do with it anyway, why does it matter that Nix are in a different confederation anyway? Wales has professional clubs in Cardiff, Swansea, Wrexham and Newport all playing in English competitions - that’s more controversial than the one professional club in NZ playing in Australia’s Fair enough if that's your view. But as has already been pointed out, those clubs you listed are all recognized by UEFA. It's a totally false comparison and definitely isn't "more controversial" than WP playing in the A League. I’m pretty sure if the Falkland Islands ever put up a national team they would be assigned to a different confederation to Argentina because FIFA allows these types of exceptions Falkland Islands not being assigned to Conmebol would hardly be surprising. There are a couple of countries on the South American mainland that are not members of Conmebol (They are CONCACAF members). The "exceptions" you speak of are where certain countries are in different confederations to what you might expect based on geography, but I still don't know of any club in the world that plays across confederations apart from Wellington Phoenix.

+x+x+x"Israel, for political reasons, are allowed to play in some UEFA competitions " Not 'some' UEFA competitions - all. Israel is part of UEFA, as is Kazakhstan, but they both moved confederations, as Australia also did from OFC to AFC, but NZ have not. Let’s keep it simple then: FIFA allows clubs like Nix to compete across Confederations - so what is the argument about? There has also been some talk about the possibility of some Russian clubs (those in the Far East) joining the Japanese football leagues. Nothing has come of it yet (and may never), but conversations have been had. Ooh, conversations. That should end well.

Happy to be proven wrong. *CLICK HERE* On that list, the Nix are the only club who plays in a country that is not part of their confederation. That is true. But that wasn't the question. Yes it was. Champagne Football posted the question " Can anyone name one other club in world football that doesn't play in their own country's federation?" Sorry but you just proved BrisbaneBhoy's point. He asked about federations. Federation is national (FFA), confederation is the region (AFC). Some people seem to be using the terms interchangeably which looks to be a cause of confusion. Well CONfederation then! I think you knew what I meant. Most didn't, hence their (and mine) comments 🙂 Mea culpa.

The Falkland Islands isn't even a country, it's a British Overseas Territory. We might as well discuss the merits of the Australian Antarctic Territory! This is all irrelevant.

Neither are Martinique, the US virgin Islands, Guam and the Cook Islands among others but they all have national teams and are members of FIFA.

It's nice to be different.

Places like New Caldedonia and Martinique play in the Coupe de France and can qualify for the Europa League. Mexican clubs have played in the Copa Libertadores and as of next season Japanese clubs can qualify.

I had it in my head that the two terms were pretty much interchangeable, like flammable and inflammable.

I don’t care for NZ football in terms of them being in the A-League - I think it’s time for them, and us, to move on. Time for Canberra to step in.
However, I do like seeing their players have club success in Europe etc.

+x+xAsk FIFA, they do and they’re okay with it. A reflection on their negligence/selective care-factor if anything💡 You still haven't answered the question of what's it to you exactly that the Nix remain in the HAL - you're not a Kiwi or even just from Wellington; what the fck do you care? Just stop being anal and own your sh1t already. I know your question is directed to Waz, but for me (who is neither a Kiwi, or a Wellington supporter), I ask the question - " Why one would want to have them kicked out of the A-League??" The A-League is already too small with regards to the number of teams competing. The A-league needs to add teams, not reduce them. It isn't a case of Wellington is taking a spot from an Australian team, as there is room for more teams to be added to the league. If you don't want foreign teams in the league fine, but it should be for "new" teams, teams yet to be given a licence, not a team who is already in the league. The only way I feel Wellington should be " kicked out" of the league is via performance - i.e. if the drop out via relegation (if/when that might be a thing/option). That said, if/when that happens, they should also have the right to regain that spot back via performance - i.e. promotion (if/when that might be a thing/option).

I think Wellington are to only club in the world in that situation. Happy to be proven wrong. Sure, I can name five on the spot. Swansea City, Cardiff City, Montreal Impact, Toronto FC, Vancouver Whitecaps. What you describe is hardly unusual. And the English town of Berwick play in the Scottish leagues because Scotland is apparently closer than the rest of England. Oh the humanity ... 😂 Past tense Waz, they are no longer in the league. Relegated to non league last season.

We need to have 12 Australian teams to get 4 ACL spots. They should be replaced.

If you don't want foreign teams in the league fine, but it should be for "new" teams, teams yet to be given a licence, not a team who is already in the league. The only way I feel Wellington should be " kicked out" of the league is via performance - i.e. if the drop out via relegation (if/when that might be a thing/option). That said, if/when that happens, they should also have the right to regain that spot back via performance - i.e. promotion (if/when that might be a thing/option). We need to have 12 Australian teams to get 4 ACL spots. They should be replaced. Expand to 14 teams. Problem solved.

+x+x+x+x+xAsk FIFA, they do and they’re okay with it. A reflection on their negligence/selective care-factor if anything💡 You still haven't answered the question of what's it to you exactly that the Nix remain in the HAL - you're not a Kiwi or even just from Wellington; what the fck do you care? Just stop being anal and own your sh1t already. I know your question is directed to Waz, but for me (who is neither a Kiwi, or a Wellington supporter), I ask the question - " Why one would want to have them kicked out of the A-League??" The A-League is already too small with regards to the number of teams competing. The A-league needs to add teams, not reduce them. It isn't a case of Wellington is taking a spot from an Australian team, as there is room for more teams to be added to the league.

Not true but I can see Sage using that logic

+x+x+x+xCan anyone name one other club in world football that doesn't play in their own country's federation? Not having a go (maybe I am), but I am genuinely interested to know. I think Wellington are to only club in the world in that situation. Happy to be proven wrong. Sure, I can name five on the spot. Swansea City, Cardiff City, Montreal Impact, Toronto FC, Vancouver Whitecaps. What you describe is hardly unusual. And the English town of Berwick play in the Scottish leagues because Scotland is apparently closer than the rest of England. Oh the humanity ... 😂 Past tense Waz, they are no longer in the league. Relegated to non league last season. Poor old Berwick. Went through there once .... it was closed. (I presume they went into the Scottish non-league system though??

Sounds like Super Rugby. How exciting.... not!

Just stop being anal and own your sh1t already. lol. I’m actually opposed to Nix being in the HAL, I think their slot would be better used by an Aussie club. I just can’t argue on a false premise. They are allowed to compete across Confederations so that argument is a mute point. Given the stance of the HAL owners there’s no chance Nix will get the boot now so I think we all have to live with that fact. But as as long as Nix’s presence does not: 1/ Slow down or prevent a football pyramid being established in Australia. 2/ Prevent or delay the introduction of pro/rel to the HAL. 3/ Get used as a pretext for SEA expansion 4/ Prevent or delay the emergence of a pro league in NZ providing non of that happens I can live with them, it’s not the most pressing issue facing football. On thd the plus side, the Yellow Fever are most likeable active support in the competition. Not all things are bad.
