The FFA and broadcaster Fox Sports have agreed to change the timing of the men's and women's professional soccer seasons, with schedules to collide with the NRL, Super Rugby and AFL.

It's a major break from the approach of the past, where the A-League has attempted to dominate the summer market given it did not have to compete against winter football codes.

One of the major selling points for Caggiano's proposal to base an expansion team in Canberra was have no men's full-time professional sports to compete with, and giving the ACT a tourism boost in traditionally slower months of the year.

But a permanent change to winter would see a Canberra A-League side compete with the Brumbies and Raiders for access to Canberra Stadium for a six-month period between February and July.

MORE CANBERRA SPORT

"Wouldn't it be a good problem to have? Canberra would be spoiled for choice with another professional team, the more the better I say," Caggiano said.

"I'm sure where there's a will there's a way. Canberra has got other options in terms of stadiums and down the path if we get the new stadium we all want, new stadiums are built to deal with all that.

"The way the grass is grown, under-grass heating, the way its orientated, they're all the things that go into the planning of a new stadium. They're built to handle multiple sports.

"It presents a massive boost to the sport and a challenge, but there are some smart people that would manage that for sure."

The winter move would also see the A-League align with the National Premier League, creating a pipeline from grassroots to the elite level.

Canberra United's W-League season is also expected to move under the new television deal proposal, which could have complications for players who have commitments in the United States or Europe.

Capital Football has restarted its search for a coach, but the FFA is yet to outline when the W-League season will be started and what format it will be.

Women's soccer is expected to experience a boom if Australia wins hosting rights to the 2023 World Cup, with FIFA set to make its decision on Thursday. Canberra won't host any games after withdrawing from the bidding process because of the cost of having games in the capital.

Caggiano is still pushing to grow the men's game in Canberra as well and is hopeful of securing a spot in the A-League after initially being denied at the end of 2018.

He also has plans to align a potential A-League side with the Canberra United women's team, which will be aiming to end a three-year finals drought next season.

"Football fans are football fans, they are very tribal and love the game," Caggiano said.

"They'll go and watch a team they're engaged with at any time of the year. The stadium being available [during summer] was a plus on the ledger but at the same time, there's positives to moving it to another part of the year.

"Your core fans are your core fans, it's the same for the Brumbies and Raiders. There are a percentage of fans who like to watch any entertainment, they're the ones who build the bigger crowds to go on top.

"We've still got 9000 registered members without even having a team and they're highly engaged every time we send them an email. That's a good market no matter what."
