The West Australian Football Commission congratulates the Perth Football Club on being granted a license for next year’s Rogers Cup.

The Demons Board, led by President Bob Shields, has worked diligently to put together a successful submission.

Perth becomes the ninth and final club to field a team in the competition for girls aged 16 to 18.

The inaugural side will be coached by Swan Districts Premiership player Gavin Outridge.

WAFC Chief Executive Michael Roberts has declared the development significant for the game in WA.

“It’s an exciting moment for the female football talent pathway as Perth FC are now represented in the Rogers Cup.

The WAFC is fully committed to assist Perth in the transition into Rogers Cup by supporting staff development in their first year in the competition,” Roberts said.
