Earlier today Football West revealed the two strips commissioned for the game, supplied by our exclusive official apparel partner Besteam.
The game at the home of Perth SC kicks off at 7pm and will be preceded by a match between the Gold Fields State Amateur Team and a Belt Up Amateur Select XI (kick-off 5pm).
There will also be activities for youngsters on the all-weather pitches at Dorrien Gardens, with the Football West Development Team running MiniRoos Kick-Off Programs and some small-sided games.
Football West will be donating money from the event to Rural Aid as part of the Football For Fire-Affected Farmers, Their Families And Communities initiative.
Football West is working closely with other Member Federations and Football Federation Australia on a number of initiatives to raise funds and support the community through these difficult times.
Football West would like to thank the players, clubs, presidents, match officials and standing committee members who have got behind the initiative.
Admission for the match will be by donation while there will also be a prize raffle.
