Football SA regret to inform that Croydon FC and Fulham United have both officially withdrawn from the Women’s State League competition, effective immediately. Both clubs have faced significant challenges in player recruitment, retention, and overall team stability, which have led to this decision.
In light of these withdrawals, Football SA has reviewed the competition format and will be adjusting the league to an 8-team structure. This will result in each team playing each other three (3) times, extending the season to 21 rounds.
The eight competing teams for the 2025 Women’s State League season are as follows:
- Adelaide Jaguars
- Cove FC
- Elizabeth Grove
- Modbury Jets
- Modbury Vista
- South Adelaide
- Sturt Lions
- Western Strikers
Looking ahead, Football SA remains committed to consolidating the Women’s State League for the 2025 season and will be issuing an expression of interest for new teams to join the league starting in the 2026 season and beyond.
