Football SA saw a seven percent increase in Match Official numbers across the Adelaide metropolitan area, with a total of 347 registered Match Officials across South Australia.
Football SA Match Officials continued to service many of the affiliated association competitions in 2019. In addition to Football SA administered competitions, Match Officials were appointed to the Collegiate Soccer League, SA Masters League, School Sports SA, RRA African Nations Cup, Port Lincoln Soccer Association, Limestone Coast Football Association and Riverland Soccer Association, South Australian Junior Soccer Association Championships and the 2019 Australian Masters Games.

REGIONAL CAMPS Football SA has been conducting the Regional Football Program since 2013, providing support and services to regional players, coaches and associations.
More than 160 regional players took part in camps in Adelaide in 2019 as part of the selection process for teams that would travel to the Singa Cup in Singapore in November.
The participants from all over the state attended the camps receiving coaching and education from a group of experienced coaches during the school holiday periods.
Football South Australia increased the number of regional squads to five: • Under 16 Girls • Under 16 Boys • Under 14 Girls • Under 14 Boys • Under 12 Boys
SINGA CUP In 2019, the teams selected from regional camps competed in Singapore rather than the Fiji competition as in previous years. The change was made primarily to give players and coaches better development with the Singa Cup providing stronger competition and a bigger variety of opponents from countries in the Asian Football Confederation. The tournament also offered higher quality venues, facilities and accommodation in a safe and convenient location.
The five Football SA regional squads faced teams from India, Indonesia, Japan Malaysia, Philippines, Taiwan and Thailand, as well as other teams from Australia and local Singaporean teams. All 80 players were tested in tough, humid conditions.
The Under 16 Boys had an exceptional tournament, finishing 3rd in a 20-team competition. After an opening day loss, they produced three consecutive wins to top their group. Following another win in the quarterfinals, the U16 boys were narrowly defeated in the semi-final against Football West.
The Under 14 Boys found themselves in a tough group with two local Singaporean sides and the team that would eventually win the 14 Boys competition. They progressed to a quarterfinal

The Under 12 Boys also competed well against strong opposition with their efforts securing one win from four games; the experience will hold the young players in good stead for future tournaments.
The girls’ competitions began later in the week and the Under 16s recovered from a slow start in their first two matches to record a draw (against Football West) and a win in their last two games.
The Under 14 Girls were defeated by the eventual winners of their competition in their opening game but ended the tournament as runners up thanks to a draw and two wins from their next three games.
Football SA’s Regional Program would not have been possible without the contribution of all the regional associations, players, parents and the dedication of coaches and team managers. Football SA would like to acknowledge everyone that contributed to the success of this program.

The NTC completed the season as League Premiers of the National Premier League (NPL) Under 18 Competition finishing nine points clear at the conclusion of the home and away season. They were also crowned League Champions of this league, for the first time, after defeating Campbelltown City four goals to two in the Grand Final.
The NTC program also consisted of younger players, competing in the Under 16s and Under 17s Junior Premier League(JPL) Competitions. Both teams also finished on top of their respective league.
The program had three players selected to represent Australia for the Joeys’ upcoming 2020 AFC Under16 Championship Qualifiers to be held in Vietnam Ethan Cox, Mohamed Toure, and Bernardo Oliveira.
Two South Australian NTC graduates wore the green and gold at the FIFA Under 17 World Cup held in Brazil in 2019. Football SA congratulates Yaya Dukuluy and Luis Lawrie-Lattanzio on their selection into this Australian Team.
The Adelaide United squad that won the 2019 Football SA Reserves NPL Grand Final consisted largely of players that had graduated from the NTC program, an indication of the depth and quality of this program.
GIRLS NATIONAL TRAINING CENTRE (NTC) The Girls NTC squad impressed at the NTC Challenge and finished the tournament with three wins over Football West, Newcastle Jets and Tasmania and two losses to New South Wales and Capital Football.
In Football SA’s Women’s National Premier League (WNPL) season, the NTC performed well despite having a young squad and losing players to long-term injuries. The team finished bottom of the WNPL ladder by one point but, when closer to full strength, it recorded wins over the clubs that would finish second and third. Zoe Tolland was selected in the WNPL Team of the Year at the Football South Australia Celebration of Football.

Inana Toovey was chosen as a Shadow Goalkeeper for the Under 15 Junior Matildas.
STATE SQUADS These programs offer young players the chance to represent South Australia and showcase a playing style and model for football in South Australia for local clubs and coaches.
The State Program provides a consistent approach and creates an environment that is both challenging and enjoyable for young players to improve as footballers and people, love what they do and stay in the game for as long as possible.
All the squads have embraced the playing style and philosophy, the standard of football displayed was excellent throughout the year.
Playing in Football SA competitions tested players on different levels every week, particularly when facing older and physically stronger teams. This proved to be challenging at times, but it also created learning opportunities and highlighted the importance of these programs for young players’ development.
FFA NATIONAL YOUTH CHAMPIONSHIPS (BOYS) South Australia took four squads to participate in the 2019 National Youth Championships. This provided more players in South Australia with the opportunity to face the best players from other states in the Under 13 and Under 14 age groups.
The two Under 13 squads performed well with little disparity between the teams, which is expected with younger age groups.
There was a bigger gap in the Under 14s age group. The squad of more developed players performed consistently throughout the tournament. The squad of late developers also played a positive style of football, however, as the week progressed it struggled to keep up with the physical demands.
Football SA’s philosophy focusses on the long-term development of players and we were extremely happy with all four teams’ and individuals’ performances. 1 Coaching Course - Coach Line Up

One of the most passionate events conducted by Football SA is the African Nations Cup. Becoming the Number 1 African Team in South Australia take pride of place in the African Communities and this is reflective by the number of interstate players that participate in the event. Players from New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria and Western Australia dominated the list of interstate participants.
The 2019 African Nations Cup was conducted at the Valo Football Centre from Friday 4 to Monday 7 October. A total of 20 Men’s Teams and 5 Women’s Teams competed across the four-day event with 436 males and 92 females registered to participate.

Although the competition does retain many of the same teams from one year to the next, there are some variations each year. In 2019, Djibouti, Ivory Coast, Morocco and Zambia all entered teams at the expense of Eritrea and Ghana. Unfortunately, Eritrea’s non-participation was marred by miscommunication and it is hoped that this will be rectified to enable them to participate in 2020.
AFRICAN NATIONS CUP - MEN The format of the men’s competition consisted of 20 teams with the teams being drawn out across four groups. A draw was undertaken to ensure equal representation of teams across the four groups, with teams being placed in pots according to their finishing position in 2019 or non- participation in 2018.
The teams in each group played each other once during the group stage of the competition. At the conclusion of the group stage, the top two teams from each group progressed into the quarter finals, the full format of the finals is outlined below;
