In case you didn’t know, Football West is the state governing body for association football in Western Australia (WA) and is affiliated with the Football Federation Australia (FFA).
The relationship is akin to what the Football Association of Sarawak (FAS) has with the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) and FIFA, in Malaysia.
Welcome to Sarawak, Football West!
