Allianz and Football Australia announce new partnership ahead of 2024 Paris Olympics
Football Australia and Allianz Australia (Allianz) have announced a new multi-year partnership.
Football Australia and Allianz Australia (Allianz) have announced a new multi-year partnership in the lead up to the 2024 Paris Olympics kicking off later this week.
Through this partnership, Allianz becomes the Official Insurance Partner of Football Australia and its National Teams, including the Subway Socceroos, Matildas, Youth Teams, CommBank Pararoos, and CommBank ParaMatildas.
This partnership underscores Allianz’s commitment to supporting the community and promoting social inclusion through sport, aligning with Football Australia’s values and vision.
James Johnson, CEO of Football Australia, expressed his enthusiasm about the new partnership, stating, "We are delighted to welcome Allianz to the growing Football Australia family. Their commitment to inclusivity and community empowerment mirrors our own values and vision for football in Australia."
Richard Feledy, Managing Director of Allianz Australia, echoed Johnson’s sentiments: "This partnership is a natural fit for us, given Allianz's global family of stadiums and our commitment to football internationally. We believe sport promotes diversity, supports mental and physical health, and fosters a sense of unity and belonging. Through this partnership with Football Australia, we hope to inspire future generations of footballers."
The announcement of this partnership with Football Australia builds on Allianz’s support for football as a sport globally, including existing partnerships with world renowned clubs such as Bayern FC and FC Barcelona.
With football being the number one choice of sport for culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities in Australia, the partnership is not only a great opportunity to ensure that football continues to thrive at a grassroots level, but it will also help in fostering an inclusive and diverse sporting culture across the country.
