In announcing the broadcast arrangement for the Iraq v Australia match, FFA CEO Ben Buckley said: “Once again, I thank our long-term partners and rights holders FOX SPORTS and Foxtel for accommodating this arrangement.

“Last month all parties co-operated to see the Socceroos v Jordan FIFA World Cup qualifier broadcast live on FOX SPORTS and on delay by SBS.
