The Australian Professional Leagues (APL) secured new ownership for Canberra United's A-League Women team with Australian Sports Group (ASG). This resolution follows two years of uncertainty for Canberra, previously propped up by the ACT government. APL chief executive Steve Rosich is now focused on finding a new owner for the Central Coast Mariners' A-League Women team within a fortnight, after they were left without a backer last month.

Rosich is optimistic about securing an investor, with multiple parties engaged. ASG, led by Theo Fotopoulos and Morris McAlister, will also explore establishing an A-League Men side in Canberra by the 2028/29 season, recognizing the region's strong junior participation. This move aims to create a positive benchmark for future women's football investment.
