Join us as we celebrate Perth Glory’s 30th Anniversary and honour three decades of unforgettable moments, passionate fans, and sports history.

The story of the club and its people is told via a wide range of unique exhibit items, some very familiar, some rarely seen and all key elements within Perth Glory’s epic journey from its formation in 1996 to the present day.

This exhibition aims to shine a spotlight on the triumphs and tragedies that have shaped the club, the big personalities, the on-field heroes, its cultural impact across Western Australia and, of course, the greatest fans in Australian football.

With the new A-League season just about to begin and the Glory Men and Women fired up to mark the club’s 30th Anniversary in style, Perth Glory FC invite everyone to join them on this journey as they both celebrate the past and look ahead to the next 30 years of Glory.

Location: Community Stories Showcase, Woodside Learning Studios Foyer
