The Port District Football club was formed in 1979 after an amalgamation of both the Semaphore Central & Exeter Football Clubs. These two clubs were 2 of the oldest metropolitan football clubs and both played out of Largs Reserve - the current home base of Port District.
Since entering the South Australian Amatuer Football League (SAAFL) in Division 3, the Port District Football Club has gone on to be the most respected and successful on the Le Fevre Peninsula.
The first official PDFC guernsey comprised of a black background with the famous white PDFC emblem on the front - they won a premiership in their first year. This guernsey was worn until 1992 when the club changed its design to the black and white horizontal stripes - they one a further premiership in this year. This guernsey design was worn until the end of 2007, and then in 2008 the club reverted back to the original all black guernsey design. In the same year, the club introduced a "clash" guernsey which was simply the colours reverted - an all white background with black PDFC logo on the front.
Over 32 years, the Port District Football Club has never been lower than A3.
The club has also had 22 SAAFL Association Medallists & 2 SAAFL Leading Goal kickers. For more detailed information, click on the Honour Board link
