Before the PFA, eight previous attempts had been made to form a footballers' association in Australia.

The PFA was formed in April 1993 as the Australian Soccer Players' Association.

[2][3] In 1994, the PFA won a standardised contract for footballers, and through the Australian Industrial Relations Commission won the abolition of a transfer system much hated by Australian footballers.

[5] The PFA holds an annual award ceremony, which formally recognises the most outstanding Australian footballers.
