FFA boss unveils indigenous player strategy

2:14 pm on 4 April 2012

Football Federation Australia has unveiled a strategy aimed at indigenous players making up at least 10 percent of domestic and national teams.

While Australian Rules and League have long produced many celebrated indigenous players, only about half a dozen have represented the Socceroos.

The FFA's chief executive Ben Buckley has conceded it's a strategy that's long overdue, and his sport is in catch-up mode.
