"Everyone in the football family is delighted with Adelaide's achievement in getting this far and we all want to see them go on with it," said FFA CEO Ben Buckley.

"I am sure all football fans throughout Australia join with me in congratulating Aurelio Vidmar and the players for their efforts."

Buckley confirmed that FFA will consider the options put forward by Adelaide and consult with other relevant stakeholders on the options.

"We indicated earlier in the week that we would consider any request from Adelaide to the extent possible."

Buckley also said that FFA has offered its experience and expertise in dealing with the issues involved in planning an away trip to a location such as Tashkent, as well as maintaining optimum fitness through the match schedule.
