Gow-Gates Insurance

Football NSW have announced the renewal of their current five-year partnership with Gow-Gates Insurance Brokers to extend their sponsorship agreement as Football NSW’s Official Insurance Broker for 2023 and 2024.

This partnership is vitally important in the continuation of Football NSW’s Insurance Programme where their goal is to provide Players & Club Administrators immediate access to the policy benefits and procedures of the insurance programme.

The policies included under the Football NSW Insurance Programme for the benefit of your club includes:

– Sports Injury Insurance, offers basic cover for participants who suffer injuries arising out of participation in football. This also considers organised training and travel between home and games/training sessions.

– Public & Products Liability, provides up to $25,000,000 any one occurrence where the club requires help to fund products or facilities to improve clubs around NSW.

– Professional Liability, provides up to $5,000,000 any one occurrence and $10,000,000 in the aggregate.

– Management Liability, provides up to $20,000,000 any one claim and in the aggregate.

Another objective is to keep this Insurance Programme affordable for all players and this is done by providing basic levels of cover for players and others participating in Football that is not all encompassing. It is recommended by Football NSW that this plan doesn’t replace the need for private health and other insurances and that using the partnership with Gow-Gates, they can be assisted with other insurance related problems.

Football NSW CEO John Tsatsimas briefly explained the importance of Gow-Gates as a long term partner in a statement from Football NSW,

“Football NSW is happy to announce its renewed sponsorship agreement with Gow-Gates for 2023 and 2024,” he said.

“With Gow-Gates celebrating 60 years of being one of the leaders of the industry with innovative and cost-effective insurance broking solutions across Australia, Football NSW are looking forward to working with Gow-Gates once more.”

Gow-Gates’ Managing Director Anthony Gow-Gates echoed Tstatsimas’ sentiments.

“Having partnered in 2018 with Football NSW, Gow-Gates remain committed to providing the football community with a first-class Sports Insurance Program whilst maintaining the affordability for players registration,” he added via press release.

It is always a huge positive for players and administrators when the partnership is used for their benefit and in this case, basic insurance cover gives them an affordable, baseline way into insuring themselves.

Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur have touched down in Sydney ahead of their pre-season tour of Australia for the Sydney Super Cup. Both clubs have wasted little time settling into life in Sydney, beginning preparations for a busy week of training sessions, fan events and pre-season fixtures.

The London rivals will each face A-League opposition before meeting meeting in the marquee fixture of the tour at Accor Stadium, bringing two of England’s biggest clubs to Australian shores as they build towards the 2026-27 Premier League season.

For Chelsea, the tour represents the first opportunity for supporters to see new manager Xabi Alonso lead the Blues. Meanwhile, Spurs fans will be eager to see improvements from Roberto De Zerbi’s men following their narrow escape from relegation last season.

Chelsea will open their tour against Western Sydney Wanderers on Tuesday 28 July, while Tottenham will face Sydney FC on Wednesday 29 July, before the clubs meet in the headline fixture of the tour on Saturday 1 August.

The clash will mark the first time the London rivals have faced each other outside the UK. The tour is another sign of Australia’s growing stature as a destination for elite European clubs during the northern hemisphere off-season

With Chelsea and Tottenham among the Premier League’s biggest global brands, the fixtures are expected to attract strong crowds and give Australian football fans a rare opportunity to watch top-flight English footballers in person.

The tour will also feature the Chelsea Women’s team, which will take on the A-League Women’s All Stars in a showcase fixture on Wednesday 12 August.

Football Australia Chairman Reflects on Socceroos World Cup Campaign, Points to Reform Agenda Ahead

Football Australia Chairman Anter Isaac has released a statement reflecting on the Socceroos’ FIFA World Cup 2026 campaign, which ended in a penalty shootout loss to Egypt in the Round of 32 on 3 July.

Isaac thanked the players, coaching staff, medical and performance teams, and volunteers who supported the campaign, saying they represented the country with professionalism, humility and pride.

He said the tournament had brought Australians together across every state, culture and generation, calling it one of the few sporting moments capable of uniting the country.

Isaac linked the campaign to Football Australia’s broader governance work, pointing to the organisation’s recently announced reform agenda and the Enduring Principles adopted last year: Better Access to Football for All, More Football, Better Football, More People Enjoying Football, and Winning Football.

He said those principles, together with the organisation’s values of Welcome, Ready, Connect, Excel and Protect, formed the basis for every decision Football Australia makes.

“World Cups do not define our leadership,” Isaac said, adding that they instead reveal progress made long before a ball is kicked.

He said Football Australia’s responsibility extended beyond preparing for the next tournament to strengthening the institution that supports every tournament that follows.

Isaac said progress in a sporting ecosystem of Australian football’s scale depends less on any single body’s authority than on the willingness of clubs, federations, leagues and government to align around shared goals.

He said the organisation would study the lessons of the campaign carefully and continue refining its approach.

“Adaptability is not changing direction with every headline,” Isaac said. “It is improving the path while remaining true to the destination.”

Isaac framed his own role in terms of long-term stewardship, saying the game should be left in a stronger position for the generations that follow than it was for those who built it.
