2022 State Cup

Main article: 2022 Football West State Cup

Western Australian soccer clubs competed in the Football West State Cup competition, which initially involved teams from the Amateur League and Metropolitan League competitions, and from regional teams from the South West and Great Southern regions.[4] In the third round, teams from the two divisions of the State League entered, and in the fourth round teams from the National Premier Leagues WA entered.

The competition also served as the Western Australian Preliminary rounds for the 2022 Australia Cup. The two finalists – Armadale SC and Cockburn City – qualified for the final rounds, entering at the Round of 32.

The final was played on 24 July,[5] and won by Cockburn City, their seventh title (five of their first six having been won by the predecessor club Spearwood Dalmatinac).
