#BREAKING: On the
#3XY ๐ป
#SundayFC program, speaking to
@P_Kotsy,
@SMFC Co-President Andrew Mesourouni said the below about the future of the
#OFCProLeague:
๐
@SMFC likely to see an NPL & OFC Pro League squad at some stage (no date given).
๐OFC Pro League H&A wonโt happen next season, but perhaps the season after (season 3).
๐More of a hybrid competition next year with shorter hubs. More
@SMFC games to be played at Lakeside ๐๏ธ, time travelling away wonโt be as long.
๐For example 4 teams in a country at each time (not 8), teams to be spread across 2 countries (instead of all 8 teams in one country). Supposedly this would halve the time teams are away.
๐
#OFCProLeague H&A league by season 3 is the aim.
๐
@SMFC will receive some runners up money from the core prize pool. Amount not specified.
๐Andrew also noted he canโt understand why
@FootballAUS let Heidelberg United make a huge effort to comply to play in Asia only to be then told they canโt.
๐Andrew noted he appreciated speaking to high level OFC officials about the future of the
#OFCProLeague.
๐Andrew said the viewing numbers on FIFA have been significant & he thanked all
@SMFC fans travelling & watching at home. Times are getting better & theyโre bright!
@SMFC Co-President Bill Papastergiadis also spoke & noted the below:
๐Disgusted by Frank Lowyโs recent comments.
๐South paving its own way in professional โฝ๏ธ showing thereโs life & opportunity outside the
#ALeague.
๐Bill acknowledged the amazing presence of the South Melbourne fans
