Fremantle Oval, also known by naming rights sponsorship as Fremantle Community Bank Oval,[2] is a stadium in the centre of Fremantle, Western Australia, located on Parry Street. It currently has a capacity of 17,500 with terracing and a members area holding 750, though capacity was capped at 10,000 for Fremantle AFLW games.[3] Fremantle Oval was originally used for cricket, but in 1895 hosted its first game of Australian rules football and Australian Football quickly became the main attraction leading to the development of the ground.[4] It is located between the Fremantle Hospital, Fremantle Markets and the Fremantle Prison.
South Fremantle Football Club train and play their home WAFL matches at the ground and are one of the few sporting organisations in Western Australia to own their club rooms freehold, rather than on a long-term lease. Additionally, the oval is the primary home ground of the Fremantle Dockers women's team. The ground was also the training and administrative home of the Fremantle Football Club until February 2017.[5] the ground has also hosted pre-season matches featuring Fremantle. Since 2021, the ground has been A-League team Perth Glory's headquarters and training base.[6]
