All the state federations, players union PFA and all 10 A-League clubs have hammered out a deal which will see sweeping changes brought into the way Australian football is run, including a standalone A-League working under the FFA, but independently.

The peace deal - which has brought a few rogue state federations back on board after apparently siding with the FFA - appears to follow the model proposed by the FIFA-instigated Congress Review Working Group, published last month.

FFA chairman Steven Lowy had threatened to stand down unless he got the backing of federations for much more limited changes proposed but now it seems the various federations have now agreed a deal without the FFA included.

A joint statement from all the state federations, the APFCA (representing the A-League clubs) and the PFA said a series of resolutions to change the FFA constitution in line with the agreed proposals would be put forward at a midday meeting on Tuesday to ratify the agreement.

And they said they believe the "new resolutions reflect a unity of purpose and shared ambitions for Australian football to realise its remarkable potential."

It added: "The resolutions strengthen the governance and oversight of Australian football with:

"A broader representation of stakeholders within the FFA Congress.

"Full participation of women at all levels of football governance, including the establishment of a women's football council for the first time.

"Formation of various standing committees that seek to improve stakeholder engagement, corporate knowledge and strengthen governance.

"Improved financial reporting in accordance with international financial reporting standards

"Establishment of a defined and transparent pathway for for new FFA Congress members, including for appropriately instituted bodies representing key stakeholders of the game

"A defined, transparent and collaborative whole of game pathway for professional football, including and an alternative A-League Governance Model

"And further alignment of the FFA Constitution with FIFA and AFC Statues."
