SA Panthers FC

South Adelaide Panthers Football Club are a football (soccer) club from the southern suburbs of Adelaide, South Australia. Panthers play in the FFSA South Australian Premier League. Their home ground is at the O’Sullivan Beach Sports Complex, known affectionately as Panther Park.

One of the youngest clubs in the FFSA league. The club was founded in August 1997 to provide opportunities for the advancement to senior level for players associated with the South Adelaide Colts Club. The club was originally an attempt to utilise and dominate the south as Noarlunga United and Seaford had limited success despite good youth talent in the area. The Panthers F.C. as they are affectionately known are great rivals of Noarlunga United & Seaford Rangers as a result of player movements, transfer politics and club proximity.

Girls first joined the South Adelaide Panthers in 2005, when two teams, an Under 13 and an Under 15 team were introduced, bringing approx. 32 girls, and their families, to the club. These girls were named the “Pink Panthers”.
