'''Adelaide Fire''' is an Australian professional field hockey club based in [Adelaide, South Australia](/source/Adelaide%2C_South_Australia). The club was established in 2019, and is one of 7 established to compete in [Hockey Australia](/source/Hockey_Australia)'s new premier domestic competition, [Hockey One](/source/Hockey_One).<ref>{{cite web |url=http://hockeysa.com.au/News-Events/introducing-hockey-one |title=Introducing Hockey One |publisher=Hockey SA |accessdate=17 April 2019 }}</ref>

The club unifies both men and women under one name,<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.hockeyone.com.au |title=Hockey One – WHAT'S THE CONCEPT? |publisher=hockeyone.com.au |accessdate=18 April 2019 }}</ref> unlike [South Australia](/source/South_Australia)'s former representation in the [Australian Hockey League](/source/Australian_Hockey_League) as the [SA Hotshots](/source/Southern_Hotshots) <small>(men)</small> and [SA Suns](/source/SA_Suns) <small>(women)</small>.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://hockeyaustralia.altiusrt.com/teams/1331 |title=SA Hotshots |publisher=hockeyaustralia.altiusrt.com |accessdate=17 April 2019 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://hockeyaustralia.altiusrt.com/teams/1339 |title=SA Suns |publisher=hockeyaustralia.altiusrt.com |accessdate=17 April 2019 }}</ref>

Adelaide Fire will compete for the first time in the inaugural season of [Hockey One](/source/Hockey_One), which will be contested from late September through to mid November 2019.

==History==
Adelaide Fire, along with six other teams, was founded on 17 April 2019 as part of [Hockey Australia](/source/Hockey_Australia)'s development of hockey.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://hockey.org.au/News/a-new-era-begins-hockey-one-is-here |title=A New Era Begins – Hockey One Is Here! |publisher=[Hockey Australia](/source/Hockey_Australia) |accessdate=18 April 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190417082255/http://hockey.org.au/News/a-new-era-begins-hockey-one-is-here |archive-date=17 April 2019 |url-status=dead }}</ref> The establishment of the club however, was not met without challenges. It was feared Hockey SA would not enter [Hockey One](/source/Hockey_One) due to financial restraints, however after a public fundraiser the entry quota was met.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.hockeysa.com.au/News-Events/donate-to-the-our-project-on-the-australian-sports-foundation |title=Donate to the our project on the Australian Sports Foundation |publisher=Hockey SA |accessdate=18 April 2019 }}</ref>

The club name of the Fire is a natural progression and combination of the former club names – the Hotshots and the Suns.

==Uniform==
The club colours are a modern take on traditional SA colours, the yellow, now replaced with white provides a cleaner, modern feel to the uniforms.
