History
The Wanneroo Soccer Club was formed in 1975 by parents from the Wanneroo Junior Soccer Club, and their home ground was on Scenic Drive in Wanneroo. They competed in the 2nd Division of the Amateur Soccer Association of WA, and stayed in the amateur ranks until the 1979 season, at which point they joined the 4th Division of the State League. They won the premiership and championship at the first attempt, and were promoted to the 3rd Division for the 1980 season.
In 1982 their home ground moved to the Wanneroo Showgrounds.
In 1983 they were runners-up and champions, gaining promotion to the 2nd division for the following year, assisted by their player/coach, ex-Southampton star John Sydenham. They stayed in the 2nd or 3rd Divisions for the next 20 years.
In 1986, the club moved to the Kingsway Sporting Complex in Landsdale (now Madeley).
The club's name was changed to Wanneroo British for the 1989–1995 seasons. The club merged with Perth City in 2003, and were called The City. They became Wanneroo City in 2004.
