Perth Soccer Club is a football (soccer) club based in West Perth, Western Australia. It competes in the Football West Premier League.^[1]

[edit] History

[edit] Perth Italia

The club was formed in 1987 as a result of a merger of the senior teams of Perth Azzurri (formed 1948), East Fremantle Tricolore (formed 1953 - left merged club in 2004) and Balcatta Etna (formed 1977 - left merged club in 1991). The new club was known as Perth Italia.^[2]^[3] In the 1980s the club registered the name Perth United in anticipation of joining the National Soccer League.^[4]^[5]

[edit] Perth Azzurri

Of the three clubs that merged in 1987, Azzurri was the most successful club having won 11 league titles.^[6] The club had its beginnings when a group of boys joined with the initial intention of starting an Australian rules football club.^[7]^[8] The club faced friction from the footballing establishment which disapproved of Azzurri's passionate style style of play.^[3] Azzurri fully merged with Perth SC in 2002.^[9]

[edit] East Fremantle Tricolore

Between 1953 and 1987 Tricolore won six league titles including three straight wins between 1963 and 1965.^[6] Since leaving to play in their own right in 2004 they have played in the Football West Social League.

[edit] Perth Soccer 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.^[10]^[11]
