Dianella White Eagles are an Australian football (soccer) club from Perth, Western Australia which was established by the local Serbian Australian community. The team was formed under the name of Dianella Serbia in 1978. The club was renamed Dianella White Eagles later on as to reduce the ethnical tension between former Yugoslav clubs, due to the outbreak of the Yugoslav War in the 1990s. In recent times, the club has seen a major influx of players and personnel who were refugees of the Yugoslav War, mainly from the Krajina region in Croatia, and from Republika Srpska in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The club's crest shows a football with the double headed eagle (the national emblem of Serbia) on a badge with the Serbian national colours, red, blue and white, in the background. The first team currently plays in the Western Australian State League first division.
Bobby Despotovski, former Perth Glory player and Australian international of Serbian origin, has good links with the club, and a few years ago, his shop, Bobby 10 Football World, was the main sponsor of Dianella.
