Perth Glory announces regional tour and faces captain's potential exit

Perth Glory has announced its 2026 Regional Tour, featuring pre-season friendly matches against Adelaide United. The tour will include a game at Hay Park in Bunbury on September 27 and a second fixture at Northam’s Henry Street Oval on October 3. Club CEO Ben Leaver noted the tour is part of a commitment to engaging with local communities throughout Western Australia.

Separately, club captain Adam Taggart is reportedly set to leave Perth Glory to join Vietnamese club Hanoi FC, coached by Harry Kewell. While Taggart recently re-signed a one-year deal in May, sources suggest the move may be a mutual decision driven by Hanoi's more lucrative offer. The 33-year-old striker, who holds the club's A-League era goal-scoring record, must pass a medical before the transfer is finalized. This news follows recent criticism from Professional Footballers Australia regarding late payments to Glory players and staff.
