The A-League's 2006-07 season was the second season of the Australian A-League football (soccer) competition. Football Federation Australia hoped to build on the success of the first season and on the interest generated by the Socceroos competing in the 2006 FIFA World Cup. Fox Sports had signed a AU$120 million deal over 7 years for the exclusive broadcast rights of the A-League, AFC Champions League, and national team matches (excluding matches played in the World Cup Finals).[1]
The television advertisement campaign used for the 2006-07 season was the same as the previous season, with different music; Scribe's "Not Many" was replaced with Manuel Neztic's "Kickin Down".[2] The second season was marketed as "A-League: Version 2".[3]

Football Federation Australia have stated that the current franchises have a 5 year exclusivity clause in their licenses. This prevents any new franchise from being established in the same city or town. This does not preclude teams from other regions from joining. No new teams were added to the competition for the 2006-07 season.
[edit] Pre-Season Challenge Cup
This competition was held in July and August in the lead up to the start of the A-League season. The opening round was July 15, 2006. The competition featured a group stage, with three regular rounds and a bonus round, followed by a two week finals playoff. The bonus group round matched up teams against opponents from the other group, and also offered the incentive of "bonus points" based on goals scored (1 point for 2 goals, 2 points for 3 goals, 3 points for 4 or more goals).
The Pre-Season Cup was used to enhance the A-League's profiles by playing pre-season games in regional centres including the Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Toowoomba, Launceston, Canberra, Wollongong, Port Macquarie, Orange and Tamworth. [4]

The Asian Football Confederation announced on 21 November 2006 that Adelaide United and Sydney FC would represent Australia in the 2007 AFC Champions League. Despite an appeal by the Football Federation Australia, it was determined that the A-League 2005-06 premiers and champions would qualify and not those from the current season. [10]
The AFC also indicated that the qualification arrangements would not be reviewed prior to 2009. The FFA have indicated that the premiers and champions of A-League 2006-07 will qualify for the 2008 AFC Champions League - establishing a precedent of maintaining a one year lag between qualification and participation.
