The WAFC is the caretaker of football throughout the State and is responsible for the overall development of the game. The WAFC’s role includes holding the license of the State’s two AFL teams – the West Coast Eagles and Fremantle Football Club, guiding the West Australian Football League (WAFL), overseeing community football, managing umpiring, and driving participation through game development and the talent pathway. The WAFC is a not for profit sports association. It is incorporated under the Associations Incorporation Act and governed by a voluntary Board of Commissioners that oversees the operation of all football activities throughout the State. 2017 was a landmark year for WA Football, with the West Australian Football Commission (WAFC) completing a once-in-a-generation Structural Review of WA Football and establishing a new Strategic Plan for 2017-2022 following significant research, planning and consultation. The Strategic Plan has been developed to assist in aligning the industry to achieve common goals and a reform agenda consisting of 60 key reform projects. The plan also outlines the new core values of the WAFC, setting the tone for how the WAFC leads the industry through this significant period of reform.
