The Limestone Coast Football Association is a soccer competition based in the Limestone Coast region of South Australia. An affiliated league of Football South Australia, six clubs participate in the LCFA across various divisions and age groups for men, women, boys and girls.
History[edit]
Founded as The South East Soccer Association in 1957, the founding teams were Blue Lake, Millicent, Mount Burr, Nangwarry and Naracoorte.[1] The competition grew due to migrants from countries such as Italy, Greece, Croatia, Holland and the United Kingdom coming to work in the regions timber industry and railway system.[2] In 1986 the league split and a newly named Green Triangle Soccer League was formed. SESA had International, Centrals, Blue Lake and Moorak United. GTSL had Apollo, Croatia, Millicent United, Millicent Wanderers and Naracoorte United. After two seasons with two leagues in the region, clubs were reunited again in 1988 in the new Western Border Soccer Association. In 2016 the league was renamed the Limestone Coast Football Association and in 2021 women's teams were added for each club after the closure of the South East Women's Football Association.[3]
