History
The first South Australian football organistation was the South Australian British Football Association (SABFA), founded in 1902. The first official South Australian football competition was contested in 1903, between the three teams of North Adelaide, South Adelaide and Woodville. Sometime after the foundation of the SABFA, the name was changed to the South Australian Soccer Football Association (SASFA),[when?] and sometime between 1961 and 1967, the name was changed to the South Australian Soccer Federation (SASF).[when?] This name remained until 2006 when the current Football South Australia was formed, with the name Football Federation South Australia (FFSA). Following the renaming of Football Federation Australia to Football Australia in 2020, South Australia's federation became Football South Australia.
^Following a sanction by the independent Disciplinary Committee, Adelaide City had 18 competition points removed, resulting in the loss of the League Premiers title.[7]
