Corporate Partner Opportunities

We have redefined the traditional approach to sponsorship and know that an understanding of your business objectives is a critical first step. We create tailored opportunities, each unique and specific to your business and industry. We recognise that your company’s term as a sponsor is subject to our performance and our ability to meet your cited key performance criteria. Every company has different objectives and we can create the right strategy accordingly.

Options include, but are certainly not limited to:

BrandingAdvertising and promoting your brand through mediums such as on-field player’s apparel, stadium signage, club website and match day promotional activity.

Business-to-BusinessMelbourne City FC is well connected to the Australian business community and will continue to develop partnerships with hundreds of businesses. We have a host of events and strategies to help facilitate business dealings from within our own business network. With the right strategy the Club can be a powerful conduit to new business opportunities.

Business-to-ConsumerMost businesses would do anything for the level of passion and loyalty that sport inspires. Companies have the opportunity to share this emotional connection that people have with sport, engaging consumers in a way that other media could only hope for.

CommunityA key pillar of Melbourne City FC’s brand is the community. Whether in schools, grassroots football or with our charity partners, it’s a real, genuine commitment to programs where we can create tangible, meaningful outcomes. A significant component of the player’s roles, beyond football, is a meaningful involvement in these community programs.
