More than just a team —
At AOFC we’re part of something bigger.
At Adelaide Olympic Football Club (AOFC), we’re more than just a football club — we’re a community built on passion, pride, and purpose. Our mission is to empower and inspire young people through football, creating opportunities for players of all ages and abilities to develop their skills, grow in confidence, and thrive both on and off the pitch.
With a proud history spanning decades, AOFC has become a cornerstone of South Australian football, a place where generations have shared their love of the game. From grassroots to senior level, we’re committed to fostering talent, building character, and nurturing a lifelong connection to football.
Our club is home to a diverse range of teams, including our senior men’s and women’s squads, a thriving junior program, dedicated girls’ teams, and the ever-energetic MiniRoos. Each team is guided by experienced, accredited coaches; all with Working with Children Checks, who are passionate about developing players in a safe, positive, and supportive environment.
At AOFC, football is more than a sport, it’s a way of life. Through every training session and every match, we instill values of teamwork, respect, resilience, and excellence. These principles help our players not only succeed on the field but grow into well-rounded individuals off it.
Based at the modern APEX Football Stadium, our facilities provide the perfect environment for players to train, compete, and belong. AOFC is a family club, where lifelong friendships are formed, community spirit thrives, and every member is valued.
We’re proud of our pursuit of excellence both on and off the pitch, strengthened by the support of our dedicated members, volunteers, and local sponsors who make what we do possible.
Join us at Adelaide Olympic Football Club, where we’re not just building champions in football, but champions in life.

At Adelaide Olympic, success goes far beyond match results. It’s about the experience we create, the community we build, and the growth we inspire — both on and off the pitch. Each year, our End of Season Survey gives every player, parent, coach, and volunteer a voice. It’s our opportunity to listen, learn, and celebrate everything that makes AOFC special while identifying where we can continue to improve.
This annual feedback isn’t just a formality; it’s the foundation for how we plan and grow. It helps us understand how well our programs are performing, how connected our members feel, and how effectively we’re living up to our mission of developing players and strengthening our football family. The insights we gain shape our decisions, guide our priorities, and ensure we remain true to our values of excellence, inclusivity, and community.
By listening to our members, we ensure that Adelaide Olympic continues to evolve with purpose, building stronger programs, nurturing young talent, supporting our volunteers, and deepening the sense of pride that binds us all together.
The feedback we receive each year reminds us that AOFC is more than just a club. It’s a shared journey - one driven by passion, resilience, and the belief that together, we can always strive for better.
Don’t just take our word for it.
