The Sam Kerr Football Centre is a soccer facility serving as the headquarters for Football West. It is named after Western Australian-born Sam Kerr, honouring her soccer success and her contribution to professional and grassroots soccer.
In May 2019, Liberal-National Coalition Prime Minister Scott Morrison pledged $16.25 million towards a State Football Centre at Maniana Reserve, Queens Park, Cannington. This figure was matched by Labor's WA Premier Mark McGowan in 2020, which meant construction of the State Football Centre could go ahead. It was completed in mid-2023, in time for the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup. The centre was officially opened in October 2023 and was named the Sam Kerr Football Centre.
The centre features two full size grass playing pitches and three five-a-side synthetic playing pitches on a 16-hectare (40-acre) site, along with function, office and meeting spaces. The main competition pitch has a two-storey grandstand with seats for 700 spectators, with the capability of hosting up to 4,000 with additional temporary seating.
The facility was used as the training base of the Denmark, Canada, Panama, Haiti and Morocco national teams at the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup.
In June 2024, the Socceroos used the facility as a training base ahead of their 2026 World Cup Qualifier against Palestine, which was played in Perth.
Perth Glory Youth team has been using the centre as its home ground since 2024, and it will be the home ground for the Perth Glory Women's team starting from the 2024–25 season. The centre also hosted the 2024 Australia Cup round of 32 match between Perth Glory and Melbourne City.
