Inglewood United Soccer Club

What Inglewood United Soccer Club does

Inglewood United Soccer Club Inc. is a not-for-profit community football club based at Proto DPS Stadium (Walter Road Reserve), 88 Hamer Parade, Inglewood, Perth, Western Australia. Founded in March 1951 as Kiev Soccer Club by Ukrainian migrants Alexander Minko and Igor Schorsch, the club was rebranded to Inglewood United in 2000 and operates as a volunteer-run organisation governed by an annually elected Executive Committee (President Anthony Rowling, Vice President Mikal Wilson, Secretary Lala Lance, Treasurer Micheal Karpinski, Technical Director Ian Munro). It fields teams across the full age spectrum — NPL WA Senior squads, Junior NPL, Junior Development League (U13–U16), Junior Girls, MiniRoos (U6–U12), and Masters/Socials — and runs the Inglewood Football Institute for ages 3–15, producing players who have progressed to professional football careers.

The club's underlying technology stack is minimal and entirely composed of off-the-shelf platforms: a WordPress website at inglewoodunitedfc.com.au, the Football Australia PlayFootball registration system, a Macron-powered online merchandise shop, and organic social channels (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube). There is no proprietary platform, no mobile application, and no disclosed data or analytics infrastructure. Operations centre on the 1,000-seat Kramer Stand (opened 2001) and Walter Road Reserve, with a 25-year ground lease held with the City of Stirling.

The business model is a hybrid of community-registration revenue, sponsorship, merchandise sales, and venue hire. Junior registration fees are publicly disclosed at A$210–A$485 per season (excluding Football Federation Australia and Football West charges), the Inglewood Football Institute charges A$180 per term plus an A$80 one-off training kit, and annual club memberships provide free entry to home games. Sponsorship is sold across four tiers (Ground and Grandstand Naming Rights, Billboard Signage, Perimeter Fencing, and Playing Shirts across NPL Senior, NPL Juniors, MiniRoos and Development), with three major sponsors (Colli, Red Fox, Embark) and nine minor sponsors (including Kreepy Krauly, Sitella, Devines, NodeOne, Prime Global, Tyrepower City Beach, Skylights WA, Tilling). The customer base spans individual players and families across age cohorts, the Football West governing body, and a small set of local corporate sponsors, with the club celebrating 70 years of continuous operation and a recent 2023 Australia Cup Round of 32 appearance.
