A decision is expected today over a possible postponement of the A-League soccer match between the Wellington Phoenix and Brisbane Roar in flood-hit Brisbane on Sunday.

The 52,500-seat Suncorp Stadium is presently being used as an evacuation centre to cater for people forced out of their houses by rising water as the Queensland flood crisis worsens.

Conditions are expected to deteriorate tomorrow and Football Federation Australia is likely to decide today whether the match between the eighth-placed Phoenix and the league-leading Roar can go ahead as scheduled.
