History
The Adelaide Comets was formed in 1994 and were known as the Adelaide Raiders Soccer Club.

Adelaide Comets now is one of the largest junior based clubs, with 18 teams. In 2007 Comets gained promotion to the FFSA Premier League, the second tier of South Australian football. In 2008 The Comets were heading for promotion to the Super League but by only winning 1 out of their last 7 games made them finish 3rd. In 2009 Comets had a slow start to they year but ended up coming 4th by winning their last 7 out of 8 games and qualified into the top 5 finals. They then beat Croydon 2–1 in the elimination final, only to lose against Cumberland.
