Swan United Football Club is an Australian semi-professional soccer club based in the Swan Valley region, in Perth. The club currently (2019) competes in the Football West State League Division 2.

History

The Swan IC United Soccer Club was formed in 1984 by members of the Italian community in the Swan Valley. The club was founded after the Swan Italian Club, headed by John Steffanelli, decided to start a semi-professional team in the Swan Valley.[1]

In 1985 the club played its first season in amateur ranks in 1985. After finishing third in their inaugural season they were accepted in the state fourth division for the 1986 season.

After playing the first two seasons at Jack Mann Oval in 1987 the club moved to new facilities at the Swan Italian Club.

The club first made the Premier League in 1994 and have been in the top tier since then nearly every year up until 2010. They won their first major trophy in 2003 when they won the Association Cup, and successfully defended the title in 2004, with a Gary Marocchi-led team beating Fremantle City.[2]

In 2008 the club merged with Swan Districts Junior Soccer Association and re-branded itself as Swan United Football Club (SUFC) to represent the unity of the Swan Valley's two largest football clubs, and extended the clubs capability to offer football to participants of all ages groups (Juniors & Seniors) and ability levels.[1]

The club was in the 1st Division from 2011–2015, and relegated to the 2nd Division for the 2016 season.
