Kite Property have been a partner of Adelaide United since 2018 and have shown a strong interest and passion in growing the women’s football side. The company can benefit greatly from the logo on the front of the club’s kits as it gives them a chance to showcase the brand to a large audience for the first time.

This partnership agreement will mean that the Kite Property logo will proudly appear at the front of both the home and away jersey for this season’s Liberty A-League campaign.

“Kite Property has always been a strong supporter of the Club and women’s football in general, and this extension is exciting for the Club and aligns with our values, to better support local communities.”

Kite Property Managing Director Damon Nagel is pleased by the continuation of this partnership.

“We could not be more pleased to extend our partnership in support of Adelaide United and women’s football,” Nagel added via press release.

“We’re extremely passionate about equal opportunity and diversity, so being able to continue our partnership with the women’s team was an obvious choice for us.

“Having our logo on the front of the home jersey is an excellent way to showcase our brand and engage with our customers and the 300-plus people that work on Kites’ projects.

“Kite Property is here to support local and our partnership with United is a key pillar in this strategy.”

Western United ruled out of 2026–27 A-League season

Western United’s participation in the A-Leagues has officially been terminated, ending the club’s immediate pathway back into Australia’s professional football competitions.

The Australian Professional Leagues (APL) terminated Western United’s Club Participation Agreement on Monday, following months of discussions over the club’s future.

The decision comes after Western United’s attempt to secure a return to the A-League for the 2026–27 season was unsuccessful. Football Australia had previously determined that the club did not meet the requirements to retain its licence.

Western United has now turned its attention towards rebuilding the organisation under new ownership, with the club targeting a return to the A-League for the 2027–28 season.

In a statement, Western United said the termination creates an opportunity for “new custodians, new investment and a fresh start”, while emphasising the importance of maintaining the club’s identity in Melbourne’s west.

The club’s financial problems have been a major issue over the past two years with the club being placed into a conditional hibernation ahead of the 2025/26 A-League season.

The APL said its decision was made following the club’s breach of several obligations under the agreement, including compliance with Football Australia’s National Club Licensing Regulations.

The club’s proposed 2027–28 comeback will therefore depend on securing new investment, addressing its outstanding operational requirements and demonstrating that it can meet the conditions necessary to re-enter the A-Leagues.

While Monday’s decision brings an end to Western United’s current participation agreement, the club maintains that it is not the end for Western United.

Now, the club that won the A-League grand final just four years ago, will now turn its attention to restructuring the business and building a sustainable platform for a potential return to Australia’s professional football landscape.
