The facility consists of two artificial pitches, and the main pitch, which has a seated capacity of 1,000, and a total capacity of 7,000. Throughout 2022, the stadium hosted many South Australian NPL games for Adelaide Comets and Adelaide United Youth, as well as hosting games for the Australia Cup.

The State Centre for Football first broke ground in 2021, two years after plans were initially revealed[citation needed]. The project was backed by the local and federal Labor government, after a AUD$19 million grant and AUD$7.4 million grant from the governments.[3]
The State Center for Football was completed in mid-April 2022,[4] with the first competitive game being held on the 23rd of that month, a game between Adelaide Comets and FK Beograd, which resulted in the home team winning 2–1.[5]
The State Center of Football has hosted multiple Australia Cup fixtures. The stadium's all-time attendance record of 3,327 was set during the Round of 16 match between Adelaide City and Adelaide United.
