The state member federations have released their official response to FIFA's outlined Congress Working Group, nominating the four federations which will represent their interests.

Football New South Wales, Football Federation South Australia, Football Federation Victoria and Football West - representing Western Australia - will comprise the four seats given to state federations in the group. 

In a statement, the member federations said they were committed to ensuring "broader" representation.

"The Member Federations are committed to working with FIFA, the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), FFA and all Australian football stakeholders to propose a new composition for the FFA congress which ensures a broader and more balanced representation of stakeholders in line with the requirements of FIFA Statutes," the statement said.

As previously outlined, FIFA's eight-seat 'Working Group' will consist of:

Four seats for member federations

Two seats for club representatives

One seat for a Professional Footballer's Association (PFA) representative

One seat for an Independent Chairperson.

The group will convene on July 31 and hold their first Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) in early September. Their objectives include the following remits.

- Alignment of FFA statutes with FIFA statutes

- The full participation of women at all levels of football governance

- FFA board composition and independance

- A pathway for alternative A-League governance

- A pathway for other stakeholders to become FFA members

- Representation for NPL clubs in football governance
