  Home of Football
  
  In 2016 Ashfield Reserve was named as the preferred site for the State Football Centre.
  
  The Department of Sport and Recreation part funded the development of the Business Case, which was completed in January 2015. Ashfield Reserve, the current home of All Flags State League side Ashfield Sports Club, was considered the most suitable option. “Football West will work closely with local, State and Commonwealth governments, as well as other stakeholders, to ensure the best possible outcome for the sport and the Ashfield Reserve precinct,” Twigger said. Football West Chief Executive Officer James Curtis said the facility would serve football's needs as well as contributing greatly to the local community and the city's growing eastern corridor. “The location is easily accessible, given its proximity to the Perth Stadium, Perth CBD, Tonkin and Roe Highways, the Perth Airport and the adjacent Ashfield Train Station,” Curtis said.
