Western Sydney Wanderers FC have confirmed that Herbalife will elevate their partnership with the club by becoming the front-of-shirt sponsor for the Ninja A-League Women’s team in the 2025/26 season.

Herbalife, a proud partner of the Wanderers since 2014, will continue as the club’s official nutrition partner.

They will support both the men’s and women’s teams with nutrition products for pre-, during-, and post-match routines, as well as providing educational sessions on maintaining a healthy, active lifestyle.

For the 2024/25 season, Herbalife has increased its backing of the Wanderers Women’s team and will now be featured on the front of their home, away, and third jerseys.

Herbalife are a global health and wellness community that offers their science-backed products, wellness resources such as helpful articles and recipes, and even have a service which offers the opportunity to build a business. For over 40 years and in more than 90 countries, Herbalife have been committed to empowering and changing the lives of millions of people.

Western Sydney Wanderers CEO, Scott Hudson spoke about Herbalife’s incredible loyalty and support of the club.

“Herbalife have been proud partners of the club for the last 10 years and we are delighted that they are taking a whole of club approach to their partnership,” said Hudson in a club statement.

“Peter and his team have had a very positive impact on our club through their emphasis on nutrition and a healthy active lifestyle so we look forward to continuing to work with them.”

Peter Hurley, General Manager and Director of Herbalife Australia and New Zealand, discussed their commitment to the women’s team for the upcoming season.

“Our decade-long partnership with the entire Western Sydney Wanderers club has been nothing short of phenomenal,” said Hurley in a statement.

“Seeing the Herbalife logo on the front of the Wanderers Women’s jersey not only highlights our commitment to the women’s team but reinforces our strong bond with the whole club.

“We’re proud to stand beside the Wanderers family and look forward to fuelling their success for the upcoming season!”

In January earlier this year, Herbalife extended with the Wanderers for three more years but this time with a focus on increasing their support to the club’s women’s programs. This front-of-shirt sponsorship is a major step forward in the right direction for both parties’ goals.

With a strong social media presence and great young talent, the Wanderers are becoming one of the most exciting teams in the A-League Women’s competition, and this deal elevates their corporate side, securing a great shirt sponsor and funds.

The Melbourne-based anf family-owned business will join the Victory family, uniting two institutions which represent the city’s culture and identity.

A partnership with local roots

As the newest partner of Melbourne Victory, Roasting Warehouse joins forces with a vital part of the city’s sporting landscape.

The club’s Managing Director, Caroline Carnegie, outlined why the partnership bears so much value to both parties.

“We are excited to collaborate with Roasting Warehouse, a community-oriented destination for high-quality coffee, proud of its foundations in Melbourne,” said Carnegie via official media release.

“Football and coffee sit at the epicentre of Melbourne’s culture. The two go hand-in-hand, consistently at the centre of the conversation that stirs Melburnians, which is no different to the conversation sport and Melbourne Victory stir in the State.”

Indeed, this is a partnership which combines the identity, passions and culture of an entire city, therefore giving it the foundations required for long-term, mutual success.

Representing the best of Melbourne

Both Victory and Roasting Warehouse are hugely successful in their respective industries. They are institutions with community-oriented philosphies, who pride themselves on craft and quality.

“We’re incredibly proud to partner with Melbourne Victory, a club that represents the heart, passion, and ambition of Melbourne,” revealed Roasting Warehouse Head of Brand, Alexander Paraskevopoulos.

“As a Melbourne-founded, family-run business, supporting a team that means so much to the local community feels very natural for us.”

Furthermore, through their high-quality blends, Roasting Warehouse will look to prepare Victory’s players and staff for high performances on the pitch as the seasons nears completion.

But this is about far more than just fueling athletes.

This is a partnership which embodies and unites two of Melbourne’s greatest strengths and cultural markers – a connection forged from the city’s very own DNA.

Football NSW supports Female Coaches CPD as Women’s Football Surges

Football NSW has used the platform of the AFC Women’s Asian Cup to deliver a targeted professional development workshop for female coaches, bringing together scholarship recipients for an evening of structured learning and direct engagement with elite women’s football.

Held at ACPE last month, the session was open to female coaches who received C or B Diploma scholarships through Football NSW in 2025. Coaching accreditation carries a financial cost that disproportionately affects women, who are less likely to have their development subsidised by clubs or associations operating in underfunded community football environments. Scholarship access changes that equation at the point where many women exit the pathway.

Facilitated by Football NSW Coach Development Coordinator Bronwyn Kiceec, the workshop focused on goal scoring trends from the tournament’s group stage, with coaches analysing attacking patterns and exploring how those insights could translate into their own environments. The group then attended the quarter-final between South Korea and Uzbekistan at Stadium Australia.

The structure of the evening mattered as much as its content. Female coaches in community football rarely have access to elite competition environments as a professional resource. The gap between the level at which most women coach and the level at which the game is analysed and discussed tends to reinforce itself. Placing scholarship recipients inside a major tournament, as participants rather than spectators, closes that gap in a way that a classroom session cannot.

Female coaches remain significantly underrepresented across all levels of the game in Australia. The pipeline that will change that depends not only on accreditation access but on the professional networks, peer relationships and exposure to elite environments that male coaches have historically taken for granted.

The workshop forms part of Football NSW’s ongoing commitment to developing female coaches through scholarships and structured learning opportunities.
