Perth Glory Football Club

In October 2025, professional football team, Perth Glory, signed a five-year lease with the City of Stirling to officially relocate its administrative headquarters to Stirling Leisure - Mirrabooka, with part of the adjacent Mirrabooka Regional Open Space to be used as a training facility for its A-League Men and Women teams. 

The City developed a strong working relationship with Perth Glory after the club moved its home games to Macedonia Park in Stirling during the 2022-23 season. The A-League Men and A-League Women teams played a combined 30 games at Macedonia Park over the next two seasons in an arrangement made possible by the hard work of Stirling Macedonia Football Club.

Mayor Mark Irwin said the experience at Macedonia Park had given the City and community a taste of what was to come in Mirrabooka:

“We have a very multicultural community in Stirling and soccer has been a fundamental part of our sporting culture and identity,” he said.

“Soccer, perhaps more than any other sporting code, connects people of different generations and cultural backgrounds in Stirling."

"I can only imagine the impact the Glory will have in Mirrabooka, where so many young people who love the game will have the elite level at their doorstep.”

The City of Stirling allocated $700,000 to the project in its 2024/25 annual budget, with two of the soccer pitches at Mirrabooka Regional Open Space to be upgraded to A-League standard. In partnership with the City, the WA Government committed $1.2 million to deliver upgrades to the playing turf and existing changerooms, along with the­ installation of new perimeter fencing at the Mirrabooka Regional Open Space. 

Perth Glory was established in 1996 and is WA's only professional football club. Perth Glory has helped to grow the game across the State, inspiring thousands of young players and representing WA on the national stage.
