The South Australian Football Commission is the sports governing body of Australian rules football in South Australia.
The organisation was formed in 1991 when the South Australian National Football League altered its constitution to effectively allow the body to manage revenues from the licences of South Australian clubs in the Australian Football League (the Adelaide Crows and later Port Adelaide Power).
The commission also effectively owns Football Park on behalf of the SANFL.
The president and executive officer have the same role in both the SANFL and the SAFC.
Famous quotes containing the words south, australian, football and/or commission:
“History in the making is a very uncertain thing. It might be better to wait till the South American republic has got through with its twenty-fifth revolution before reading much about it. When it is over, some one whose business it is, will be sure to give you in a digested form all that it concerns you to know, and save you trouble, confusion, and time. If you will follow this plan, you will be surprised to find how new and fresh your interest in what you read will become.”
—Anna C. Brackett (1836–1911)
“Each Australian is a Ulysses.”
—Christina Stead (1902–1983)
“...I’m not money hungry.... People who are rich want to be richer, but what’s the difference? You can’t take it with you. The toys get different, that’s all. The rich guys buy a football team, the poor guys buy a football. It’s all relative.”
—Martina Navratilova (b. 1956)
“Children cannot eat rhetoric and they cannot be sheltered by commissions. I don’t want to see another commission that studies the needs of kids. We need to help them.”
—Marian Wright Edelman (20th century)
