Club Overview

History

Armadale FC were established in 1963 to serve the football community in Perth’s south-eastern suburbs. The club began as a grassroots organisation, run by volunteers and sustained by the enthusiasm of local football lovers. Over the following decades, Armadale progressed through the divisions of WA football, building their capabilities at each level before earning promotion to the next. This organic growth ensured that the club’s infrastructure and community support grew in tandem with their on-field ambitions.

Reaching the NPL Western Australia was a major achievement for Armadale FC, representing the culmination of decades of development work. Competing against clubs with greater resources and longer histories at the top level has been challenging, but Armadale have approached the task with the same determination that characterised their climb through the ranks. Alfred Skeet Reserve has been upgraded to meet NPL requirements, with improved spectator facilities, quality playing surfaces, and modern amenities that serve both the senior teams and the comprehensive junior programs. The club’s presence in the NPL has raised the profile of football across the Armadale region.
