History

[edit]

The team was formed in 1978 under the name of Dianella Serbia. The name was changed to the current one in the 1990s due to FFA requirements at the time.[1] The club has had success in winning the Division 1 title in 1993. That sent the team into Western Australia's highest division for a brief stint. Since then, the club has spent its time in Division 1 and came close to winning the league in 2013 and 2017.[citation needed]

Club symbolism

[edit]

The club's crest shows a soccer ball with a double headed eagle (the national emblem of Serbia) on a badge with the Serbian national colors of red, blue and white in the background. The club's song is called "Igrale se Delije".[citation needed]

Rivalries

[edit]

Dianella White Eagles have a fierce rivalry with Western Knights SC and Gwelup Croatia SC.[citation needed]

Home ground

[edit]

Dianella White Eagles' home ground is at Dianella Reserve, a public open space. The Dianella White Eagles share their ground with Little Athletics who use the ground during the summer months. The local Serbian community has built its own stand-alone clubroom next to the existing clubrooms.[citation needed]
