Summary
Brisbane Roar’s future is in question as the Australian Tax Office seeks to have the club wound up over an unpaid six-figure debt, which is described as a “historical debt” predating the current management. CEO Kaz Patafta assured that the club is working with the ATO to resolve the issue and that their owners, the Bakrie Group, plan to settle the debt soon. While the Australian Professional Leagues remain confident in the club’s resolution efforts, Queensland’s sports minister Tim Mander expressed concerns about the club’s recent struggles and its importance to local youth sports.
