Football Federation Australia CEO David Gallop arrived in Zurich late Wednesday night (Australian time) with the key man in Australia's delegation, FFA chairman Frank Lowy, expected to arrive Thursday night.
"The Australian delegation will review the developments involving Swiss and US law enforcement authorities over the conduct of FIFA officials. FFA expects to issue a further statement tonight," an FFA statement read.
FIFA was plunged into the biggest meltdown in its scandal-hit history after a wave of arrests of football officials in Zurich on corruption charges and explosive allegations of bribery and racketeering from United States investigators - that span twenty-four years beginning in 1991.
Seven officials, including FIFA vice-president Jeffrey Webb from the Cayman Islands, were arrested by Swiss authorities on behalf of the US Department of Justice which has indicted 18 people alleging bribery totalling close to $200 million.
In a separate development, the Swiss attorney general also opened criminal proceedings over the awarding of the 2018 and 2022 FIFA World Cups and seized documents and electronic data from FIFA's headquarters and will question 10 current FIFA executive committee members who voted on that tournament.
The twin proceedings have cast FIFA into a state of crisis ahead of Friday's presidential election but the world governing body has said the vote, where incumbent Sepp Blatter is facing Prince Ali Bin Al Hussein of Jordan, will go ahead.
