Southern Metropolitan Football League

The Southern Metropolitan Football League (SMFL) was an Australian rules football competition based in the southern suburbs of Adelaide, South Australia until it folded at the end of the 1986 season. It first formed in 1912 as the Sturt Football Association, ^{[1] [2]} and during its history was also known as the Mid-Southern Football Association (1920-1930), ^[3] Glenelg District Football Association (1931–1949), ^[4] Glenelg-South-West District Football Association (1950–1966) ^[5] and Glenelg-South Adelaide Football Association (1967–1983), ^[6] before finally being named Southern Metropolitan Football League (1984–1986). ^[7]

The association first affiliated with the South Australian Football League in 1921. ^[8] In 1927, the association made a special request to the SAFL for financial assistance. ^[9]
