The Regency Park project, overseen by Football South Australia, the State Government and City of Port Adelaide, has been finalised with the keys handed to Croydon FC.

Back in August 2019, the club moved out of Polonia Reserve on South Road, and have been playing their home matches at Jack Smith Park ever since then, but the training sessions are held in Port Adelaide.

The relocation has been worthwhile and gratifying for the club and its loyal fanbase, with two quality FIFA full-sized synthetic pitches, an area for the community to enjoy, new club rooms having a view of the two pitches, four change rooms and a function room for the community awaiting the club.

Football SA CEO Michael Carter said in a statement:

“Collaboration between Croydon officials, the State Government, Port Adelaide Enfield Council and Football SA resulted in the funding of $7 million.”

“That $7 million has been invested in Regency Oval and created a home for Croydon that will leave a huge legacy for the club and game broadly, the location is second to none and exposure for the game on South Rd is enormous. The result is fantastic and we would like to thank all project partners for their contribution to this great facility.”

Croydon FC Chairperson, Simon Gargaro added via press release:

“As the current custodians of the Croydon Football Club we had a vision just as the Polish Community had over 70 years ago: to create a space where the community gathered and enjoyed football, a new era is now realised and we are proud of the new facilities that will be enjoyed and valued by the community.”

“The new facilities will also ensure the growth of our commitment to Junior and Women’s football.”

Formerly known as the Croydon Kings, even though the club commenced with a Polish base due to the influx of people from diverse multicultural backgrounds and the variety of players signing for the club as well as the supporters from great distances showing their faith in the club, Croydon FC is able to witness people from all walks of life making the club their own.
