Parramatta Power Soccer Club were a professional association football club who were based in the Western Sydney city ofParramatta. They played in theNational Soccer League from season1999-00 until the league folded in 2004. The Power were runners up toPerth Glory in the2003–04 season of the NSL, both on the ladder and in the grand final, after Perth took control inextra time and scored thegolden goal winner in horrendous weather to become the final NSL champions.
The club was backed by the Parramatta Leagues club which also owns theParramatta Eelsrugby league team. The club played atParramatta Stadium (the home of the Eels) and played in gold and blue (the Eels colours). The club suffered from poor attendances throughout its existence, partly because of its links to the Eels, as well as it being in the already crowded Western Sydney football market.
