About us
The WAFC is the caretaker of football throughout the State and is responsible for the overall development of the game. The WAFC’s role includes holding the license of the State’s two AFL teams – the West Coast Eagles and Fremantle Football Club, guiding the West Australian Football League (WAFL), overseeing community football, managing umpiring, and driving participation through game development and the talent pathway. The WAFC is a not for profit sports association. It is incorporated under the Associations Incorporation Act and governed by a voluntary Board of Commissioners that oversees the operation of all football activities throughout the State. 2017 was a landmark year for WA Football, with the West Australian Football Commission (WAFC) completing a once-in-a-generation Structural Review of WA Football and establishing a new Strategic Plan for 2017-2022 following significant research, planning and consultation. The Strategic Plan has been developed to assist in aligning the industry to achieve common goals and a reform agenda consisting of 60 key reform projects. The plan also outlines the new core values of the WAFC, setting the tone for how the WAFC leads the industry through this significant period of reform.

The West Australian Football Commission (WAFC), the governing body of football in Western Australia, is seeking expressions of interest from persons wishing to be considered for appointment as a Commissioner. The role of the Commission is to protect and to grow football by overseeing the promotion, development and management of football throughout the State and provide guidance, planning and leadership to all levels of the game. Experience and exposure to community sport, not just football, will be highly regarded. A level of participation and engagement is required with stakeholders as well as the ability to contribute actively at Board level with independence and objectivity. Completion of the Australian Institute of Company Directors’ Governance course is a desirable qualification. There are three positions to be filled, of which each of the current Commissioners are required to retire by rotation and are eligible to stand again and may be seeking reappointment. The three appointments will be effective for a 3-year term from 1 January 2025 to 1 January 2028. The position of Commissioner is not remunerated.

Congratulations to WA All Abilities Football Association who proudly launched their pilot program for Female Integrated Football, marking a ground-breaking first across football in this country. In collaboration with the exceptional team at Sisterup - supporting young women with disability to live a healthier life, through health, relationships, community and learning - delivered a vibrant program featuring music by DJ Primz, football skills, fitness sessions, and for many, their inaugural footy game. The smiles, laughter, and dance moves were truly unforgettable. This program, running over four sessions across eight weeks, is dedicated to providing opportunities for females with disabilities to engage in and enjoy the game of football. We are committed to supporting inclusivity and helping all participants develop their skills and confidence on and off the field. https://lnkd.in/gjbXb9s2

Claremont Football Club and West Perth Football Club may have claimed the WAFLW and Rogers Cup Premierships, but it was the fans who were the real winners. On a day when Perth experienced more than 15mm of rain, the crowd continued to show their support for women’s football with 3,724 attending Pentanet Stadium. Four clubs took part in the two grand finals - Claremont, West Perth, East Fremantle and Subiaco Football Club - highlighting the competitiveness of the competitions. West Perth achieved an impressive feat by securing back-to-back premierships and maintaining an undefeated streak for the second consecutive season. Claremont asserted their dominance over East Fremantle Football Club winning their second premiership in the last three years. Thank you to everyone who supported women’s football in 2024 and bring on the 2025 season. - WAFLW Premiers – Claremont - Rogers Cup Premiers – West Perth - Crowd attendance 3,724 - 350 giveaway footballs courtesy of SL Sullivan Logistics Pty Ltd West Coast Eagles, Fremantle Dockers, Kia Australia Pty Ltd, Electrical Group Training (EGT), WA Police Force, Healthway , Seven Network, Streamer

The West Australian Football Commission (WAFC) and Perth Football League (PFL) are thrilled to announce the securing of State Government funding for a major retrofitting project aimed at upgrading 52 player and umpire changerooms across metropolitan Perth. With a $1 million grant from the Community Sporting and Recreation Facilities Fund (CSRFF), and additional support from the WA Football Facilities Fund and West Coast Eagles Royalty Reserve, we are set to create safer and more inclusive environments at community sporting venues where football is played. In collaboration with 22 local governments, this project will enhance facilities for individuals of any gender, age, and ability. It will support football from grassroots to elite levels, all while promoting our vision ‘to be the game for all Western Australians’. David Templeman MLA https://shorturl.at/IcBKS
