The Adelaide Metropolitan Football League (AMFL) was an Australian rules football competition based mainly in the eastern and south-eastern suburbs of Adelaide, South Australia. Originally known as the Sturt District Football Association (SDFA),[1] the competition reformed after World War II, became the Adelaide Metropolitan Football League in 1963 and folded at the end of the 1967 season.[2]
