Soccer as a sport, in the Portuguese community of Western Australia, began as a social pastime. In 1966 a group of migrant fisherman, mainly from the Portuguese island of Madeira would regularly come together on a Sunday morning, pack a picnic lunch and play a game of soccer. Over the years these humble beginnings have developed into the Fremantle Spirit that we know today. A club with a proud tradition and a club full of the promise of greater things to come.
