West
The South West is one of the most unique football regions in Western Australia. Large enough to rival metropolitan competitions, yet still deeply grounded in country football values.
Stretching from Harvey through Bunbury, Busselton and down to Margaret River, the South West is home to some of the state’s strongest participation numbers, a proud volunteer culture, and a football community that continues to evolve with the times.
