History

Early Years

The club was formed originally in 1910 as the Subiaco British Association Football Club. Playing in black and white, they competed in WA British Football Association League at the Perth Oval and Wellington Square. In 1914 however, all play was suspended for six years due to World War 1.

1920s

Subiaco returned to the field in 1923, this time wearing the current colours of maroon and gold. It was also during this time where the club began to grow and was able to field junior and reserve teams by the mid-1920s. It was not until 1928 which saw the club claim its first silverware, winning the Division Two title.

1930s

At the turn of the decade, the club was renamed to Subiaco Soccer Club. They saw more success in this time period, defeating Midland 2-1 to clinch their second Division Two title, a unique accomplishment at the time.

1940s

Due to World War 2, all football was halted until 1946, where Subiaco returned under the name Shenton Park Rangers. They used Onslow Road Reserve as their new home ground. During this period, they were promoted to the top division and relegated the next year after not winning a single game.

1950s

The 50s saw success for the club. Shenton Park Rangers junior team won the league in 1951, going undefeated throughout the entire season. The club was once again renamed in 1952, this time to Subiaco City. The name of their home ground also changed from Onslow Road Reserve to how it is known today, Rosalie Park. They won the Division Two title for a third time the same year.

1960s

During the 60s, football in Western Australia was reformed. In 1962, Subiaco City joined the new Soccer Federation of Western Australia, a new semi-professional competition for teams all over West Australia. 1966 also saw Subiaco win their fourth Division Two title in their history. Three years later, Subiaco fielded their first woman's team, under the name Subiaco City.

1970s

The 70s saw a dark period for Subiaco. They were relegated to Division Three in 1971 and failed to win promotion for a majority of the decade. There only success was a victory in the Division Three Top Four Cup, however they failed to clinch promotion.

1980s

Subiaco began the decade with promotion back to the Second Division. The first clubhouse was built at Rosalie Park, named after Mr Fred Cumber, the club president of the time. In 1984, the club split after a disagreement between senior figures. A new club was formed called Subiaco Amateur Soccer Club, later changing their name to Subiaco United, which was based at Rosalie Park. The remaining Subiaco City men's teams moved north and changed their name to Subiaco Stirling Soccer Club, while the youth teams remained at Rosalie Park under the name Subiaco City Juniors.

1990s

Glory was brought back to Subiaco United in 1992, when they once again won the Division Two title. In the north, Subiaco Stirling moved again to Balga, renaming to Balga West Coast, before folding in 1993. Subiaco United continued to make progress however, with further upgrades to Rosalie Park pitches, floodlighting and the clubhouse, along with fielding another six woman's teams after a merger with Curtin University Woman's Soccer Club.

2000s

Subiaco United saw continued success through the new century with their first Division One title win in their history in 2001. It was only another seven years until they saw more silverware, with their second Division One title in 2008. 2009 was the final year to be played under the Subiaco United banner, with talks going on with Subiaco City Juniors.

New Era (2010s)

At the start of the new decade, the two clubs remaining at Rosalie Park, Subiaco United and Subiaco City Juniors, reached an agreement to merge and create a new joint club, Subiaco AFC. In 2014, Subiaco accepted an invitation to the newly formed National Premier League (NPL). Since this date, the club has continued to grow and now has over 90 teams across all age groups.

2020s
