Soccer in Western Australia is the most participated code of football, though it is a distant second in overall interest behind Australian rules football in Western Australia. It is governed by Football West. Football West runs the National Premier Leagues Western Australia (the states premier competition), State Leagues, Sunday League and Metropolitan League. There are also numerous casual and school competitions, as well as futsal and indoor soccer in competitive and social games.
The sport's origin in Western Australia dates back to the later days of the colony, when in 1896, the first governing body was formed. The state has one professional team, Perth Glory FC which competes in both the A-League Men and A-League Women.
Perth hosted a number of 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup matches.
The State has provided a number of well known global Football stars,[who?] with Sam Kerr being one of the best known to date.
