TEN MORE YEARS will help Wgtn Fans

New chair wants to see two new A-League teams next year. Who doesn't? And forget ten more years for the Nix - I want what the other established teams have in terms of long term contracts. Basically, an equal playing field. Anything less would be a huge injustice.
[/quote]I think its been well established that Wellington cant get a bigger licence then a 10 year deal from the FFA because of the AFC/OFC & FIFA signing off on them is limited in terms of years.
Please correct me if I am wrong but im sure I read it a few times.

It was asked why Nix didn't get a 20 year licence and it was due to FIFA/AFC and OFC can only sign off on a 10 year agreement - the FFA just stuck metrics in there.
However, FFA announced that Wellington's licence will be immediately extended until "the end of the 2019-2020 season, with two further three-year extensions through to 2022-2023 and then 2025-2026, dependent on a number of factors, especially improved broadcast rights from New Zealand."
Those factors include approval from FIFA, the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), the Oceania Football Confederation (OFC) and New Zealand Football (NZF).
