On August 21, 2025, the South Australian National football League (SANFL) announced a partnership with CME, a national leader in sports lighting, to enhance football oval lighting across the state. CME will serve as the official preferred lighting supplier, having previously upgraded lighting at notable sites like Football Park for SANFL and the Adelaide Football Club. The introduction of a new LED 200lux lighting system will allow nighttime access for the Crows AFLW team and support SANFL’s development programs as the Adelaide Football Club relocates to Thebarton. SANFL CEO Darren Chandler emphasized the need for improved lighting due to record participation levels in football, while CME CEO Chris Mattner expressed pride in supporting SANFL’s mission to create sustainable, innovative lighting solutions for football in South Australia.
