Sport in Western Australia
Sport is an important part of the culture of Western Australia.
Association football is one of the most participated in sports in Western Australia.
The Perth Glory currently competes in the national A-League as the only representative from WA.
They were crowned A-League Premiers in the 2018-19 season. In the previous National Soccer League, Perth Glory was a relatively successful team by winning the last titles of the NSL (2002-03 & 2003-04). Perth Glory's home games are played at Perth Oval, although they have played finals at Perth Stadium.
Australian rules football is the third most played sport in Western Australia and has a long history in the state having been played since 1868. Western Australia has two teams in the national league: the West Coast Eagles and the Fremantle Football Club (the "Fremantle Dockers"). Both teams use Optus Stadium as their home ground. The state's local league is the West Australian Football League (WAFL) with ten clubs representing metropolitan regions.
Western Australia's number one basketball team is the Perth Wildcats of the National Basketball League. The Wildcats' sister team is the Perth Lynx of the Women's National Basketball League. Western Australia also has a second-tier basketball league, the NBL1 West Competition, with teams located in Perth, Mandurah, Bunbury, Kalgoorlie and Geraldton.
Cricket is one of the main sports in Western Australia. Western Australia has a state cricket team, the Western Australian cricket team (Formerly the Western Warriors), based at the WACA Ground. They play in the Sheffield Shield and the One Day Cup Series. The Perth Scorchers also represent WA in the Twenty20 Big Bash domestic competition and have been the most successful franchise since the competition's inception. Since 2018, Perth Stadium hosts international Test and One Day International cricket matches.
Perth has a strong regional field hockey competition. There are many field hockey clubs for children, men, women and veterans (over 40 year of age). Western Australia contributes significantly to the national Australian men's and ladies' hockey teams which have both been winners of Olympic Gold Medals.
