Our Story

Better players. Better people.

Perth Azzurri is the State’s most successful football club. Since our formation in 1948, we have been crowned men’s champions of Western Australia on 26 occasions. We also won our first women’s championship in 2025.

Our success has been built on our values of integrity, respect, ambition, effort, teamwork and community.

These are the values that were instilled in us by our founders, a group of Italian migrants from the WA Italian Club, and still hold true today.

Our founders, many of whom were in a new country to build a new life, used football to socialise and become part of the local community.

They named the club Azzurri, which still remains the name of Perth Azzurri today, pointing to our Italian migrant heritage.

Perth Azzurri has produced a number of players who have gone on to represent Australian national teams at both youth and senior levels and become professional footballers and international players in their own right.

More importantly, Perth Azzurri has played a key development role in thousands of young men and women that have become active and positive contributors in our local community.

Perth Azzurri has evolved over more than 77 years, but we remain true to our values and our purpose to make our members better players and better people.

This is why we will continue to create lifelong members and supporters of our club, who will pass on their love and passion for Perth Azzurri to the next generation.

How we play

Our Values

  1. 01

    Integrity

    We believe in honesty and showing a consistent and uncompromising adherence to strong moral and ethical principles. Our success will be achieved playing by the rules and being guided by our values.

  2. 02

    Respect

    Is the glue that holds our club together. We admire and appreciate the hard work, dedication and passion of our members and volunteers. We also remain humble, both as individuals and as a club, and express gratitude to our players, coaches, volunteers and opponents.

  3. 03

    Ambition

    We will strive for maximum performance through continuous improvement. Our players, teams and members have a desire to perform at their very highest level possible, both on and off the field at all times.

  4. 04

    Effort

    We believe in reward for effort. Dedication, sacrifice and perseverance can take us to unthinkable heights and achieve goals and objectives that sometimes seem distant or inaccessible. Effort often leads to long-term reward. Luck, opportunism and the search for a quick win are only momentary rewards that do not provide long-lasting benefits.

  5. 05

    Teamwork

    We believe success is a collaborative effort and cannot be achieved if left to individuals to carry the burden. The most effective and efficient way to achieve a common goal or complete a task is as a team.

  6. 06

    Community

    We believe it is the role of our club to be a positive and active member of our local community. Our doors and our hearts are always open to our neighbours. We will provide access to our facilities, expertise and network and support local community groups and events.
