From the CEO: Celebrate Our 150th Year

24 March 2026

Dear South Adelaide Fans and Members,

We are thrilled to officially launch our 150th Year this Saturday as we take on Woodville-West Torrens at 2.10pm at Magain Stadium. It’s a milestone season for our great club, and we’d love you with us from the very first ball up.

Our League side has put in a huge pre-season and shown promising form in the trial matches. With several exciting new faces in the line-up, your support in the stands will mean more than ever as we kick off Round 1.

Our Women’s team will begin their season a little later than usual, with the unfurling of the 2025 Premiership flag on Saturday, April 18. It will also mark their first opportunity to run out of their brand?new changerooms.

Meanwhile, the new Girls U18 competition is already underway, and our young Panthers are acquitting themselves exceptionally well.

We’re also pleased to share that our new interchange benches have transformed the undercover area, giving you a clearer, uninterrupted view of the action.

To mark this historic year, we’re proud to share a range of special initiatives:
