Victoria's three A-League clubs will remain in their home state while Football Federation Australia seeks to gain exemptions for the teams to enter NSW to continue their season, after another attempt to get out failed on Tuesday night

Victoria's three A-League clubs will remain in their home state while Football Federation Australia seeks to gain exemptions for the teams to enter NSW to continue their season, after another attempt to get out failed on Tuesday night.

Melbourne City's Lachlan Wales and Craig Noone at training last month. City were one of three Victorian teams unable to get across the border for the second night in a row on Tuesday.

The FFA and the A-League's managers insist that it did what was possible to get the clubs over the border, but there has been widespread criticism of the game's governing body and the league's controllers for the mess that has been created, especially compared to teams from other codes, all of whom made it out of Victoria well ahead of the border closures.
