	Football (soccer) in Australia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A Victorian association, the Anglo-Australian Football Association was founded in 1884; the Queensland British Football Association followed in 1889; the Western Australian British Football Association in 1896 (renamed the Western Australian Soccer Football Association in September 1925); the South Australian British Football Association in 1902; and a Tasmanian association in about 1910-1912.
		Football (soccer) in Australia is governed by Football Federation Australia (FFA) which is directly responsible for, among other duties, the Australian national football team and the domestic Australian football competition, the Hyundai A-League.
		While native-born Australians overwhelmingly played and watched Australian Rules or Rugby, football (soccer) was highly popular with the various British and Southern European immigrant communities, all of which expanded rapidly during the 1950s and 1960s: the English, Scottish, Greek, Italian, and Croatian communities gave rise to most of the largest clubs.
