David Gallop, CEO of the Football Federation Australia (FFA), has announced a new policy on the naming of clubs in the soccer competitions it runs. They will after 26 June 2014 be unable to choose logos or names that have "any ethnic, national, political, racial or religious connotations". While the new rules will not apply to the existing teams, they must still heed them if they want to make any changes in the future
