In this episode, Archie and Zappa sit down with Football Australia Chairman Chris Nikou. Chris started out his footballing journey with the South Melbourne Football Club before transitioning into the administration side of football as a Director at Football Federation Victoria. Since then, Nikou has been a Director of the AFC Asian Cup 2015 and the Melbourne Renegades. After joining Football Australia in 2014, Chris became the Chairman in November 2018 after Steven Lowy stepped down.
The boys discuss the major issues going on in Australian football currently, including both the Socceroos and Matildas, the likelihood of a Second Division kicking off in the next 12-months, developing a domestic transfer system and building pathways for the next generation.
