– The past arguments against moving the page two or three years ago are not as strong as they once were. Australia's governing body is called Football Australia but the page is titled: Australia national soccer team as that is the most popular term in the country, like is the case in South Africa. The page for association football in South Africa uses the term "soccer," and if the name for this page were moved, it would provide for greater uniformity. Finally, the word "soccer" is the more popular term in South Africa and because the page requires the use of South African English and vernacular, it would make sense to change it to soccer.
