Picking up on the lack of publicity afforded to the game, Aufdemkampe established the website with the expressed aim of raising the profile of football in WA. Through word of mouth alone, the local community embraced the website to the extent it is now the most comprehensive single source of on-line information on the game available.

In early 2000 the website 'staff' was doubled with the addition of Brett Klucznik whose priority has been the compilation of the weekly news updates and the provision of photographs. Three years later Peter Simcox came on board as the website broadened it's coverage of the semi-professional game.

Over the years we have been able to establish a network of contributors who give their time each week to write match reports and news articles for the website. It is only through these contributions that www.footballwa.net is able to provide you, the football community, with the latest information on the football that you love.

footballwa.net is totally volunteer-driven - everyone who contributes is employed full-time in occupations outside football. As such, we invite all players, officials, fans and administrators to have your say on the game in WA.
