The Adelaide University Soccer Club Black collegiate team is one of the most inclusive football teams in Adelaide with a mix of local and international players of diverse ages and skill levels.
Competitive on game day and full of frivolity and friendship off the pitch, it’s a passion for football that sets this group apart from the rest.
AUSC Black was a founding member of the Collegiate Soccer League (CSL) in 1981. After 23 years in the CSL, the squad then spent 15 years in the ranks of the SA Amateur Soccer League. Since returning to the CSL in 2020, the group has excelled from strength to strength.
If you’re looking for a long-term club, or are only in Adelaide for a semester or two, make the AUSC Black collegiate team your first destination.

AUSC Black of bygone times
The Adelaide University Black squad has a rich history of playing in the South Australian amateur football competitions.
AUSC Black were founding members of the Collegiate Soccer League in 1981. In 2005, two AUSC Black CSL teams moved to the SAASL competition.
After being relegated from Division 2 following the end of the 2006 season, the squad was rebuilt, with plenty of new players and won promotion back to Division 2 for the 2008 season. The team didn’t fare too well during the 2008 season and were promptly relegated back to Division 3.
AUSC Black competed in the SAASL competitions for more than a decade under the names AUSC Black, AUSC Orange, AUSC Grey and AUSC Black 2.
In 2020, AUSC Black moved back to the CSL competition, starting in Division 3. They were competitive, finishing third in the league and were subsequently elevated to Division 2 for the 2021 season, after movement in the above division opened up space for the top three 2020 Division 3 teams to be promoted.
