The club competed in the National Soccer League (NSL) for 27 seasons but withdrew just prior to the final season ending in 2004. Adelaide City now compete in the National Premier Leagues South Australia. City won the inaugural Super League (former name of the NPL) with games to spare after leading for most of the season. They also won the Federation Cup defeating West Adelaide 4–1 in the final at Hindmarsh Stadium.

On 12 August, 2014, Adelaide City defeated Western Sydney Wanderers FC 1–0 in the inaugural 2014 FFA Cup match for both clubs. It was the first time a state-based National Premier Leagues club had faced off against an A-League side in a competitive fixture.

History

Origins

The club was founded and primarily followed by people of Italian heritage and originally called "Juventus" after the Italian club from 1946–1966. In 1966 they became Adelaide Juventus and in 1977 Adelaide City, when Frank Lister captained the team in the inaugural Phillips NSL competition. He later went on to win the 'Golden Boots' award for that year and was inducted into the South Australian Soccer Hall of Fame in 2004. On 31 August 2003, after 26 seasons in the NSL, Adelaide City had banished itself to the South Australian state league, due to the club struggling to stay financially afloat.

Adelaide (Beethoven)

"Adelaide", Op. 46, (German pronunciation: [aːdəlaːˈiːdə]) is a song for solo voice and piano composed in about 1795 by Ludwig van Beethoven. The text is a poem in German by Friedrich von Matthisson (1761–1831).

Composition and publication

During the period he created "Adelaide", Beethoven was in his mid twenties; he had come to Vienna in 1792 to pursue a career and was in the early stages of making a name for himself as pianist and composer. He had only recently completed his studies with Joseph Haydn. A. Peter Brown suggests that in writing "Adelaide," Beethoven was strongly influenced by Haydn's song "O Tuneful Voice" (Hob. XXVIa:42, c. 1795), written by the elder composer shortly before. Like "Adelaide", "O Tuneful Voice" sets a love poem, is in moderate tempo with a steady triplet accompaniment, and wanders from key to key in its middle section.

In composing "Adelaide" Beethoven made many sketches.Barry Cooper assigns the work of composition to "an unusually long time during 1794, 1795, and perhaps 1796." The song was published by Artaria in Vienna; the first edition bears no date, but an advertisement for it appeared 8 February 1797 in the Wiener Zeitung.
