The next presidential vote was initially scheduled for this Saturday, but may be postponed following the arrests of nine current and former FIFA officials.
The arrests came after US federal authorities presented a 47-point indictment against current and past FIFA officials, including claims that South Africa won the bidding for World Cup 2010 after millions of pounds exchanged hands.
Now Australia is officially prepared to oust current president Sepp Blatter, who will celebrate 17 years in the position in the next few days - if he has not been replaced by then.
“FFA believes that profound change within FIFA is needed as soon as possible to address issues of governance and transparency,” FFA chairman Frank Lowy said in a statement.
“This belief will be reflected when Australia casts its vote in the presidential election, should it proceed on Friday in Zurich. The board of FFA has reviewed the manifesto for change proposed by Prince Ali bin Al-Hussein and believes it provides the basis for a fresh start for FIFA.”
Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin says the United States is meddling in FIFA's affairs to try to stop the organisation from allowing Russia to be host for the 2018 FIFA World Cup it bid for and won.
“Unfortunately our American partners are using these methods in order to achieve their own selfish gains, and it is illegal to persecute people. I would not rule out that in regards to FIFA, the same thing could be happening, though I do not know how it will end,” Putin said, according to RT.com, the website for a Moscow-based international news operation.
"This is a blatant violation of the principle of how international organizations function," Putin said, according to USA Today. "We are aware of the pressure that he was subjected to in relation to Russia holding the 2018 World Cup."
