Designed to meet international standards, the Sam Kerr Football Centre has the calibre to host and support world-class teams.

The Department of Local, Government, Sport, and Cultural Industries (DLGSC) has been instrumental in overseeing the development of the Sam Kerr Football Centre since the project commenced in February 2022. This commitment has paved the way for a facility that is set to elevate football in Western Australia. The Centre was jointly funded by the State and Commonwealth Governments.
