Jarvis Cars

Adelaide United has announced that Jarvis Cars has furthered its commitment to the Club for the upcoming 2022/23 season.

The local South Australian company has increased its support from last season, with their logo to appear on the front of shorts for the Club’s Liberty A-League team.

Adelaide United Commercial Director Adam Thomson said in a statement:

“We’re pleased to have Jarvis Cars increase its backing of the Club by seeing their brand feature on the shorts of our Women’s team.

“While providing support for the Club as a whole, Jarvis Cars’ primary focus will be on our Women’s program.

“Jarvis Cars has been a prominent business in South Australia for over 30 years and we’re thrilled they see the enormous potential in sponsoring women’s football, especially ahead of the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023™ being held in Australia and New Zealand.”

Jarvis Group of Companies, Chief Executive Officer, Christian Di Lorenzo, said via Adelaide United:

“As a proud South Australian business, we couldn’t be happier to expand our support of Adelaide United and in particular the Women’s program.

“Aligning our company with the only professional football club in the State will certainly elevate our brand exposure and we look forward to a successful season together.”

Since 1984 when there was a staff of 43 operating from one location, the Jarvis Group has grown today to over 315 employees and six dealership locations, with franchises for Ford, Toyota, Subaru, Isuzu UTE, Suzuki, Skoda, Peugeot, Citroen and Stihl.

The Jarvis Group of Companies is one of the largest privately owned automotive groups in Australia. It is a Quality Assured business and a major supporter of the local Adelaide community and charities, donating in excess of $10 million to a wide range of South Australian and South East Asian charities.

Australian Sports Group reveals ambitious blueprint for Canberra United

New Canberra United owners, Australian Sports Group, have outlined an ambitious investment blueprint for the future of the club.

The plans centre around strengthening the club’s foundations, establishing elite academy pathways, and the introduction of an A-League Men’s team. More broadly, it aims to create a stronger football ecosystem that connects players, clubs and communities across the Australian Capital Territory.

A key pillar of the strategy is the development of an elite academy. The proposed pathways will create opportunities for emerging talent to progress towards professional football, strengthening the connection between grassroots participation and the elite game. The academy would form an important foundation for the proposed A-League Men’s team. ASG are targeting an entry into the Men’s competition from 2028/29, pending required process.

The introduction of a men’s team would expand the club’s professional offering and create additional opportunities for players, coaches and football staff. It would also give local talent a clearer pathway towards senior football without having to leave the region.

Infrastructure investment is another central component of the blueprint. The group plans to improve football facilities and secure a long-term home for the club. These developments would support the women’s program while laying the groundwork for future expansion.

The strategy also prioritises stronger engagement across the ACT football community. The ownership group plans to work with local stakeholders and government to align the club’s growth with broader priorities for sport and community development.

The immediate focus remains on stabilising the women’s program and building the structures needed for long-term success. This approach provides a foundation for the club to expand its operations while maintaining its existing identity and community connections.

The investment blueprint signals a broader ambition for Canberra United. By combining elite player development, improved infrastructure and the potential introduction of a men’s team, the group aims to establish a sustainable professional football model for the capital. The vision positions Canberra United as a platform for growth across the region, with a pathway to connect grassroots participation, academy development and professional competition.
