About Western Sydney Wanderers
Western Sydney Wanderers arrived in Australian football in 2012 and immediately rewrote the record books. Founded to give the sprawling western suburbs of Sydney their own top-flight identity, they won the A-League title in their very first season and then, in 2014, became the first Australian club to lift the AFC Champions League. It remains one of the most remarkable debut stories in the history of any sport.
Founded in 2012 and based in Parramatta, the Wanderers play at CommBank Stadium and compete in the A-League. Their honours include the 2012-13 A-League championship and the 2014 AFC Champions League, a continental triumph that announced Australian club football to the wider Asian game.
Red and black are the colours of the Wanderers, chosen to forge a distinct identity for western Sydney. Nike supplied the kits through the early glory years, and the simple red home shirt worn during the 2014 AFC Champions League run has become one of the most celebrated in Australian football history. Clean, bold, and instantly recognisable, it is a shirt that carries a story as remarkable as any in the game.
