Perth Glory enters the 2025-26 A-League Women season defined by a narrative of ambitious renewal. After a deeply disappointing 10th-place finish, the club has initiated a strategic overhaul, appointing NPL-winning coach Stephen Peters to instil a proactive, possession-based philosophy. This new era is built on a high stakes “cohesion gamble”: retaining the core of the previous squad while injecting a new, experienced spine designed to fix past weaknesses. With proven goalscorer Rola Badawiya leading the line and a clear mandate to secure finals football, the club is betting that a new system and targeted quality can unlock the squad’s latent potential and propel them back into league contention.
