Fremantle City Football Club is an Australian soccer club based in Fremantle, Western Australia. Formed in 2014 through the merger of Fremantle United and East Fremantle Tricolore, the club competes in the men's and women's divisions of the National Premier Leagues Western Australia. Tricolore was one of the state's most prominent clubs in the post-war period, winning five top-flight titles, while Fremantle United enjoyed sustained success in the amateur leagues, claiming eight championships between 1988 and 2008.

History

[edit | edit source]

Fremantle City was formed in 2014 through the merger of Fremantle United, formed in 1979, and East Fremantle Tricolore, founded in 1953. Both clubs had roots in the local Italian-Australian community.[3][4][5][6][7]

East Fremantle Tricolore

[edit | edit source]

Tricolore was founded in 1953. After entering the state league in 1960, the club clinched three consecutive league titles from 1963 to 1965 and added two more championships in 1970 and 1972. Their success extended to the D'Orsogna Cup, securing victories in 1961, 1962, 1966, 1968, 1972, 1976, 1978, and 1979.[8] In 1987, Tricolore joined with Perth Azzurri and Balcatta Etna to form Perth SC. In 2004, Tricolore left Perth SC to compete again in their own right.

Fremantle United

[edit | edit source]

Fremantle United was formed in 1979.[9] They played in black and white stripes, in tribute to Italian club Juventus.[10] Between 1982 and 2011, Fremantle United competed in the amateur leagues, spending most of the time in the Amateur Premier Division. They won the Amateur Premier Division eight times - in 1988, 1989, 1991, 1992, 1994, 1998, 2000, and 2008 - and were runners-up on seven occasions. They joined the State League Second Division in 2012, where they played until the formation of Fremantle City.[11][12]
