Western Waves FC

The Western Waves Football Club were a short-lived West Australian women's soccer club that played only one season in the former Women's National Soccer League.

[1] However, due to financial constraints with the league, governing body (then Soccer Australia) and with the new club itself, they would only play 6 out of the 11 league games, ruling them out of being able to fight for a position in the finals series[2] Nevertheless, the Waves set about trying to field the strongest squad they could with the limited resources that they could draw upon.

Alistair Edwards (former Perth Glory and Socceroo player) was announced as the coach of the club.

[3] On the field, the club recruited Perth local and Matilda Lisa De Vanna, as well as up and coming talented players like Collette McCallum, Hayley Crawford and Nicola Williams.
