The Greater Ipswich Region and surrounding Western Corridor has one of the fastest growing populations in Australia, with football having the largest participation base compared to any other sport played within this catchment. This region is renowned for its sport with large crowds being drawn out to support all teams that participate at the elite level.
Western Pride FC (Pride) was established in 2012 by Football Ipswich, a unique partnership of the city’s FFA-affiliated clubs within the greater Ipswich area.
These Ipswich clubs came together with a view to create a complete football career pathway for the region’s youth.
Pride’s footprint covers over 6,000 active playing members, families and supporters from Ipswich, Brisbane’s Western and Centenary suburbs.
Pride is supported by Football Federation of Australia, Football Queensland, Football Brisbane, Queensland Government, Ipswich City Council and sponsors.
