Doubts over the future of the W-League have been raised, with several A-League owners - who are collectively losing about $25 million per season - weighing up the financial strain of also contributing to a women's team.

Canberra is the only one of the seven W-League clubs which is not aligned to an A-League team.

''I don't want to be too critical, but I believe there are different models that can be applied to W-League outside of having them attached directly to the A-League brand,'' Reid said.

''Certainly Perth Glory's a bit shaky, and there's always been a bit of speculation from Football West's point of view from the level of investment into the W-League.

''Canberra United has shown that the stand-alone club can be strong, professional and successful.''

After a sold-out grand final and an unbeaten season, United is increasing the value of its sponsorships and is close to retaining championship-winning coach Jitka Klimkova for next season.

''Canberra United is going from strength to strength,'' Reid said. ''It's a self-funded club, it doesn't rely on participation fees from our registered players to prop it up.

''It's completely funded by a government grant, sponsorships, gate receipts and merchandise.

''The FFA said last month there was no reason why they wouldn't continue the W-League. We're looking forward to a debrief on last season and planning for next season.''

Reid said there would be a women's football workshop in Sydney next Thursday where an overall women's strategy would be discussed.

There is also expected to be another meeting coinciding with the W-League awards night on April 11 in Sydney.
