About the Pelligra Group 

A private, family-owned and operated property developer and construction business, Pelligra Group has expanded its breadth of developments with particular focus in the sports and entertainment sectors, acquiring interests in a number of sporting clubs around the world and enhancing that relationship through the development of sporting infrastructure. 

In Europe, the Group holds a 100% interest in Italian Serie C football club, Catania FC, including ownership of Catania Rugby, Catania Women’s Football, Catania Junior Football and the Varese Basketball Team. 

Their Australian sporting interests, meanwhile, include ownership of Adelaide Lightning Women’s basketball team, Adelaide Giants Baseball team and the Canberra Braves and Adelaide Adrenaline Ice Hockey teams. 

Pelligra Group Chairman, Ross Pelligra, is relishing the prospect of re-establishing Glory as a benchmark club of Australian football. 

New Owner and Chairman Ross Pelligra, along with former Socceroos Vince Grella (Director), Stan Lazaridis (Football Director) and David Zdrilic (Head Coach), are fiercely committed to reconnecting and re-engaging your Perth Glory Football Club with the WA community and building it for long-term sustained success. 

Our new-look squads are hungry to bring new energy and excitement to our Members and fans this coming A-Leagues season! 

New Head Coach David Zdrilic has assembled a young, dynamic and talented group of players ready to deliver an attacking, high-energy, and entertaining brand of football that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
