După aproape șapte luni de pauză competițională, prima ligă din Australia, A-League, pornește la drum cu ediția 2011-2012, una care se anunță mai interesantă ca oricând. Atracția principală o reprezintă noile transferuri care au ținut capul de afiș în această ”iarnă” în Australia: Harry Kewell (Galatasaray) la Melbourne Victory, respectiv Brett Emerton (Blackburn) la FC Sydney.De asemenea, campionatul Australiei a suferit și importante pierderi în această pauză: Matthew Leckie (de la Adelaide la Borussia Mönchengladbach), Matt McKay ( Brisbane Roar - Rangers), Kosta Barbarouses (Brisbane Roar - FC Alania Vladikavkaz) sau Robbie Kruse (Melbourne Victory - Fortuna Dusseldorf).
