The 2024–25 season is the 21st in the history of Adelaide United Football Club since its establishment in 2003. The club will participate in the A-League Men for the 20th consecutive season and is making their 10th consecutive appearance in the Australia Cup.

Adelaide United's start to the season was headlined by the loss of Nestory Irankunda, who joined Bayern Munich after agreeing terms with the club in November 2023 for a record domestic Australian transfer fee and last season's top scorer, Hiroshi Ibusuki, who netted 15 goals across the 2023–24 season.

Season summary

[edit]

Pre-season

[edit]

On 10 May 2024, 20-year-old goalkeeper Ethan Cox extended his contract for a further three years. Cox was promoted from the NTC in 2019 and made 19 appearances for the NPL team in their title-winning season before making his senior debut in the final round of last season in a dead rubber match.[1]

On 14 May, the departure of Ben Halloran was announced.[2][3] Two days later, Hiroshi Ibusuki departed the club by mutual consent.[4][5] Hiroshi was last season's top scorer with 15 goals in 26 matches and intended to remain with the club; however, his request for a longer-term deal was rejected.[6] On 17 May, Nick Ansell, Lachlan Barr, Harry Van der Saag, and Ben Warland were released following the expiration of their contracts.[7][8][9]

On 27 May, former Dutch international Ernest Faber was announced as the club's new technical director in order to improve the club's coaching and recruitment. The announcement came a few months after a strategic partnership with PSV Eindhoven was finalised.[10][11]

On 28 May, three Adelaide United players, Luka Jovanovic, Bailey O'Neil, and Jonny Yull, were selected for the Young Socceroos' squad for their June tour of South America.[12] The next day, Nestory Irankunda was named as one of eight A-League Men players to feature in the Socceroos' squad for their final second round World Cup qualifiers against Bangladesh and Palestine.[13] This was Irankunda's first official call-up to the squad, having previously joined as a train-on player in March 2023. The callup came a week after Irankunda publicly commented that he would consider his international future with other nations if he wasn't called up to the Socceroos squad, as he is eligible to represent Burundi or Tanzania.[14][15]

On 4 June, Spaniards Isaías and Javi López both signed a one-year contract extension ahead of their joint retirement at the end of the season. Isaías has had two spells at the club since 2013 and was apart of the club's title winning season as well as their subsequent FFA cup win in 2018. Both players will study for coaching badges.[16][17]

On 6 June, 19-year-old Newcastle Jets centre-forward, Archie Goodwin, signed with Adelaide United on a four-year contract. Goodwin made his debut for Newcastle at the age of 16 and has played 44 matches in the A-League Men, scoring seven goals in that period, although he suffered numerous injuries during his four years with the Jets.[18][19]

On 21 June, 24-year-old winger, Dylan Pierias, signed with the club on a three-year contract, following his expiration of his contract with Western Sydney Wanderers. Pierias has played for numerous clubs around the A-League and has represented Australia's youth sides on 16 occasions, most recently in 2021.[20][21]

On 25 June, Musa Toure was signed by Ligue 2 side Clermont Foot for an undisclosed fee. Musa, the youngest of brothers Al Hassan and Mohamed, played 11 games for the senior side across two seasons since signing with the youth team for four years.[22][23][24] The next day, Austin Ayoubi signed a two-year contract extension with the club.[25][26]

On 30 June, 33-year-old Dutch centre-back, Bart Vriends, signed a two-year contract with Adelaide. Vriends made 192 league appearances for Sparta Rotterdam across eight seasons, seven of which were spent in the Eredivise. The move was influenced by technical director Ernest Faber, who joined the club from PSV Eindhoven last month, and club legend Craig Goodwin, who previously played with Vriends for two seasons.[27][28]

On 4 July, young centre-back, Panagiotis Kikianis, signed a five-year contract with the club, the longest contract in A-League history. Kikianis made his professional debut midway through last season and scored a last minute equaliser against Perth Glory in his second game.[29][30]

Adelaide United played their first pre-season friendly on 9 July against The Cove of SA State League 2, winning 9–0 in front of 2,500 spectators, with goals from Dylan Pierias, Ryan Kitto, Austin Ayoubi, Archie Goodwin, Ryan White, and braces from Luka Jovanovic and Yaya Dukuly.[31] A second pre-season friendly took place a week later on 16 July against Adelaide Blue Eagles of State League 1, which United won 6–0. Stefan Mauk scored twice in addition to goals from Goodwin, Pierias, Jovanovic and Ayoubi.[32] The final friendly before the Australia Cup was an 8–1 win against Cumberland United, with Jovanovic scoring once, Panashe Madanha and Zach Clough scoring braces and Goodwin getting a hat-trick.[33]

Australia Cup

[edit]

The draw for the Australia Cup round of 32 took place on 19 June 2024. Adelaide United were drawn away to NPL NSW side Blacktown City.[34][35] Adelaide led 35 minutes in through Stefan Mauk, who scored a tap-in from Ryan Kitto's cutback. Blacktown City were on top at the beginning of the second half, eventually equalising in the 71st minute. United held Blacktown off for the regulation period, forcing extra time. The Reds dominated the extra 30 minutes, Yaya Dukuly broke the deadlock in the 98th minute with a half volley from a tight angle. 10 minutes later, Austin Ayoubi robbed defender Nick O'Brien of the ball before playing a forward pass to Luka Jovanovic who extended Adelaide's lead. Blacktown scored again in the final minutes of play, however Adelaide would hang on to qualify for the round of 16.[36]

On 6 August, Adelaide United completed the signing of 19-year-old Dutch winger Julian Kwaaitaal on a three-year deal with the option to extend for a further year from PSV Eindhoven. The club immediately loaned him out to Eerste Divisie club, FC Eindhoven,[37] which ensured that Kwaaitaal didn't take up a visa slot.[38][39]

On 7 August, the club released their home kit for the season, which pays homage to Adelaide's nickname as the 'City of Churches', with a design inspired by the archway of St Peter's Cathedral.[40][41] The kit was showcased at Adelaide's fourth friendly match against West Adelaide to open the Hellas' new home stadium, the Kilburn Sportsplex. Adelaide won the match 8–0; Austin Ayoubi scored four goals, trialist Godwin Bentil got a brace, Jonny Yull scored once, and Josh Cavallo scored a long-ranged goal off the post from outside the box.[42][43] On 8 August, Feyzo Kasumović, Malual Nichola and Amlani Tatu signed three-year scholarship contracts with the club,[44][45] and the next day, Ethan Alagich became the second Reds player to sign a five-year contract with the club.[46][47] Adelaide played a fifth friendly match against Adelaide Croatia Raiders on 14 August, winning the match 3–1 with goals from Luka Jovanovic, Austin Ayoubi and Josh Cavallo.[48]

In the round of 16, Adelaide were drawn against away to NPL WA side, Olympic Kingsway.[49] Ayoubi opened the scoring 11 minutes in after a scramble in the box. The Reds were unable to extend their lead during the first period, and seven minutes before half time, Liam Boland equalised for the hosts. Adelaide retok the lead in the 48th minute after Calum O'Connell headed the ball into his own net, and despite being put under significant pressure, United scored a third goal in the 71st minute; Luka Jovanovic heading home from a Zach Clough cross. Kingsway brought one back in the 85th minute when Boland converted a penalty, however Adelaide would once again hang on, advancing to the quarter-finals.[50]

On 5 September, the club's chairman, Ned Morris, stepped down from his role, transitioning to an advisory role after 18 months in charge of the club.[51] On 10 September, former captain and club legend, Travis Dodd, returned to the club as an assistant coach.[52]

Adelaide United hosted the Western Sydney Wanderers in the quarter-finals of the competition, at ServiceFM Stadium.[53] The Wanderers started the game on the front foot, however Austin Ayoubi would once again open the scoring for United; a screamer from outside the box into the top left corner. Adelaide controlled the first half, hitting the woodwork twice within five minutes, before Western Sydney's Nicolas Milanovic struck the crossbar on the other end of the field. Delianov continued to keep the visitors at bay, however, they broke through in the 68th minute, Milanovic scoring after a scramble in the box. The last 20 minutes of the match were end to end, both teams having multiple chances at goal, however the match would go to extra time. Just three minutes after the restart, Ryan Kitto retook the lead, burying the ball in the bottom right corner. Western Sydney fought back in the dying moments, but would be unable to find an equaliser, giving Adelaide their first semi-final appearance since they won the competition in 2019.[54]

On 15 September, 19-year-old goalkeeper, Max Vartuli, signed a three-year contract with Adelaide United, joining from Sydney FC Youth.[55][56] On 17 September, Ben Folami joined the club on a four-year deal from rivals Melbourne Victory.[57][58]
