Country Footy Regions

Central

The Central region sits at the crossroads of country and metro. Spanning the Peel region’s rapidly growing coastal communities and the Hills region’s storied foothill clubs, Central blends traditional country football values with the influence of Perth’s expanding fringe.
Two distinct sub-regions make up Central — each with its own character, yet united by the same commitment to community-driven competition.

COUNTRY FOOTY WITH A METRO EDGE

Central
Snapshot

CENTRAL REGION

Central footy reflects two communities on the move — one growing fast, one steeped in history — both grounded in strong clubs and driven by people committed to the game.

  • Two sub-regions: Hills & Peel
  • Senior competition-focused footprint
  • Rapid population growth alongside deep-rooted heritage clubs
  • Strong competitive standards
  • Close connection to metropolitan football

Hills

The Hills Football Association has been a cornerstone of football in the Perth Hills since 1946. Formed from five founding clubs all rooted in the Shire of Mundaring, the association carries nearly eight decades of community football history.

 

Hills footy has the feel of classic country competition: tight-knit clubs, fierce local rivalries and a strong volunteer base that has sustained the game through generations of growth and change in the foothills east of Perth.

Peel

Peel footy is competitive, community-driven and an important part of the region’s sporting identity. While junior pathways and participation programs are administered through metropolitan structures, Country Football WA’s focus in Peel is on senior football — supporting the league and its clubs and volunteers who keep the competition strong.

 

Clubs draw players from growing residential areas, long-standing locals and people moving into the region for work and lifestyle, creating a dynamic football environment that reflects a region on the move.
