The A-League is the top Australasian professional association football league. Run by Australian governing body Football Federation Australia (FFA), it was founded in 2004 following the folding of the National Soccer League and staged its inaugural season in 2005 � 06. It is sponsored by Hyundai Motor Company Australia and Qantas, and is therefore officially known as the Hyundai A-League.

The league is contested by eleven teams: ten located across Australia and one from New Zealand. Related leagues include a National Youth League and the Women's Westfield W-League.

Their choice of "Don't You Want Me" instantly caused a row with Oakey who did not want another single released because he was convinced that "the public were now sick of hearing The Human League" and the choice of the "poor quality filler track" would almost certainly be a disaster, wrecking the group's new found popularity Virgin were adamant that a fourth single was going to <b>...</b>
