Perth Glory Football Club is an Australian professional association football club based in East Perth, Perth. The club was formed in 1995 and has played at its current home ground, Perth Oval, since its inception. The club played its first competitive match in the first round of the 1996–97 National Soccer League, in October 1996. Perth is one of the three National Soccer League clubs from the 2003–04 season that were implemented into the A-League Men for the inaugural 2005–06 season, and has since participated in every A-League Men season.
