Wikipedia - Western Pride FC
Western Pride Football Club was a soccer club based in Ipswich, Queensland. The club is best known for winning the NPL Queensland Grand Final in 2017. Pride's Senior Men currently play in the Football Queensland Premier League, following relegation in 2018, while the juniors and Senior Women teams play in their respective NPL or FQPL Queensland competitions.
The club was founded in 2012 by a new entity called Football Ipswich, set up by local football clubs to represent the Greater Ipswich Region and surrounding Western Corridor.
Pride were inaugural members of the Men and Women's NPL Queensland competitions, the 2nd tier of Australian football.
In 2023 it was announced that Pride and Ipswich City FC would merge ahead of the 2024 season, with the new club being called Ipswich FC.
History
Pride's inaugural men's player/coach was former Socceroo Kasey Wehrman who led the team from 2012 until his resignation in July 2014 to return to Norway.
In October 2014, former A-League player Karl Dodd accepted the position of Head Coach of the Western Pride FC Senior Men's Team in the National Premier League (Qld). Former Matilda Karla Reuter signed on as Assistant Manager of the Men's team.
Dodd led the team to an impressive start to the season, however in June 2015 he was recruited by Brisbane Roar FC to take up a position as the High Performance Manager.
Dodd was replaced by former Whitsunday Miners FC coach Graham Harvey.
Pride Women's team first appeared in the SEQ Premier League, and were coached by Byron Hellmuth. In 2015 Pride gained a licence to the newly formed NPL Queensland Women'scompetition. Byron Hellmuth and New player/coach Lorena Maggio led the team to an 8th-placed finish.
On 18 May 2016 Pride Men played the New Zealand national football team at Briggs Rd Sporting Complex as part of the visitors preparations for the OFC Nations Cup. New Zealand prevailed 2–0 in front of a crowd of 1,200 fans.
Pride Men signed Papua New Guinea international Nigel Dabinyaba late in the season, who became the first current international to play in the NPL Queensland competition.
Two of Pride's 2016 squad were signed by Brisbane Roar's Youth team. Hayden Mchenery signed mid-season after 12 months at Pride where he rebuilt his career after suffering osteitis pubis. Joe Duckworth signed at the end of the season after top scoring for Pride with 11 goals in 21 appearances.
В 2016 году Вестерн Прайд был на грани финансового краха и, несмотря на выход в Гранд Финал Национальной Премьер-Лиги Квинсленда, руководство было вынуждено объявить о ликвидации клуба. Однако команда была спасена благодаря вмешательству местного бизнесмена Барри Стивенса, который выкупил акции клуба и спас его от роспуска.
В 2020 году Вестерн Прайд отметил свое 1000-е выступление на всех уровнях лиг в рамках предсезонного товарищеского матча против брисбенского клуба «Пайн Риверс».
Домашние игры клуб проводит на стадионе Пурда Спортинг Комплекс в Ипсвиче.
