Wikipedia - Perth SC
Perth Soccer Club is an Australian professional soccer club based in West Perth, Western Australia. The club was founded in 1987 as the result of a merger between three local clubs, though its pre-merger history is regarded to be that of Perth Azzurri after taking full control of the club in 2002. Perth currently competes in the National Premier Leagues Western Australia, with matches played at Dorrien Gardens.
History
Perth SC was formed in 1987 as a result of a merger of Perth Azzurri (formed 1948), East Fremantle Tricolore (formed 1953) and Balcatta Etna (formed 1977). After numerous meetings and discussions the new club known as, named Perth Italia Soccer Club, was formed. Of the three clubs that merged, Perth Azzurri was the most successful club having won 11 league titles. Between 1953 and 1987 East Fremantle Tricolore also won six league titles, including three straight wins between 1963 and 1965. Balcatta Etna had the least success, with only one league title.
The club had its beginnings when a group of boys joined with the initial intention of starting an Australian rules football club. The club faced friction from the footballing establishment which disapproved of Azzurri's passionate style of play.
Representatives from all three clubs strongly contributed in establishing the finest club and facilities in Western Australia. In the late 1980s the club registered the name Perth United in anticipation of joining the National Soccer League. However the club never managed to join the national league.
In 1991 Balcatta Etna left the merged club. In 1995 it was decided to change the name to Perth Soccer Club in order to broaden its appeal to a more mainstream audience. In 2002 Azzurri fully merged with Perth SC to become the club it is today, with East Fremantle Tricolore leaving the merged club to play in their own right in 2004.
The team's colors are traditionally red and white, and they play their home matches at the iconic Dorrien Gardens, a venue known for its passionate atmosphere and dedicated fan base. Perth SC has a storied rivalry with other local clubs, particularly in the form of the "Western Derby" against Perth Glory, which adds an extra layer of excitement to their fixtures.
The club is renowned for its emphasis on youth development, fostering young players through its academy system, and promoting a strong community spirit. With a focus on skillful play and tactical discipline, Perth SC continues to strive for excellence on the field, aiming for both state and national honors while maintaining a deep connection to its supporters and the local community.
