Why is FIFA trying to change Australian football culture by calling Soccer Football?

I am a lover of all sports and can appreciate that in most parts of the world they call Soccer Football. It really annoys me however that Fifa the governing body of Soccer is trying to change Australian sporting culture buy trying to make Aussies say football, when referring to Soccer. I encourage all Australians to keep calling Soccer Soccer. How dare they try and change the Australian vocabulary.

Is football in Australia soccer in the US?

No. In Australia, the term "Football" [colloquially "footy"], mainly refers to the Australian football game, also called, "Aussie Rules". Even in the two states that play much more rugby than Australian football, they do not reference soccer with the word 'football' - the 150+ year tradition within Australia has therefore long been to be speaking of either Australian football or one of the rugby codes - 'league or union' when football is mentioned. The only change that has occurred is that the major soccer / "association football" league in Australia has changed its own lead name from "Soccer" to include the word "Football", but certainly, neither the general populous, nor the culture as a whole refers to soccer by the term football. The chief governing body of Australian Football has long been named, "The Australian Football League". The true name of the soccer brand of football, by the way, is actually "Association Football".
