Our logo

The cornerstone of the branding of FICA is the inspired football designed by Amoonguna artist Kumalie Riley. The footprints are endless in their journey as they pass from one region to the next. The original football was presented to Adelaide United during a goodwill exchange in 2008 and is prominently displayed in the AUFC boardroom for all visitors to see.
