Adelaide United and Gameready Performance confirm the continuation of their partnership for the A-League Women’s 2024/25 season.

The collaboration, which started during the 2022/23 A-League Women’s season, will be a great environment and chance for the team to build on what was a poor campaign in 23/24, finishing last on 15 points.

Through this collaboration, Adelaide United’s A-League Women’s team will have access to top-tier strength and conditioning facilities, featuring cutting-edge equipment and advanced recovery tools throughout the season.

Gameready Performance is a high quality gym facility located in Thebarton, South Australia and was started by founder Daniel Chudleigh who had worked in the professional sports environment for almost a decade.

Gameready Performance is dedicated to fostering a high-performance culture and providing professional services aimed at helping athletes unlock their full potential.

The Adelaide-based company proudly serves a variety of local professional teams, including the Port Adelaide Football Club, the Adelaide 36ers, and the Adelaide Thunderbirds, who regularly utilise the facility to enhance their performance.

The gym’s mission is to create an elite-level environment typically reserved for professional athletes and make it accessible to the Adelaide community. Any members striving for personal excellence are welcome to use the gym at any time.

Adelaide United said they are proud to partner with another strong South Australian business, further strengthening ties within the local community.

This partnership is a significant boost for Adelaide United both on and off the field, providing the team with access to elite training and recovery resources.

It offers a strong foundation to improve after a challenging season, creating a high-performance culture that aligns with the club’s commitment to success and player development.

The club are known for developing incredible talent through its academy and achieving that goal on top of the myriad of exciting international signings made this preseason, it gives the Reds some much needed optimism before the Ninja A-League Women’s competition kicks off in November.

Additionally, the club has expanded its corporate portfolio by securing another local sponsor, aligning with one of the key objectives outlined during the August 2024 members’ forum. The forum emphasised the importance of strengthening the women’s team, and this partnership marks a promising first step toward achieving that goal.

The youngest recipient since its inception, Mossin will officially receive the award after leading the Ninja A-League Grand Final 2026 on Saturday.

 

A rapid rise

After debuting in 2023, Mossin has quickly proved quality, composure and confidence as a referee in the Ninja A-League.

As a result of the achievement, Mossin will be the appointed referee for this weekend’s Grand Final between Melbourne City FC and Wellington Phoenix.

After beginning in the North West Sydney Football Association, Mossin then honed her craft with the Football NSW Referee Academy, a journey with foundations truly embedded in youth development and grassroots football.

Thus, Mossin is not just am individual success story, but a symbol of what institutional investment and opportunities can do for young women looking for a pathway to the game.

 

Celebrating success

The plaudits, unsurprisngly, are arriving from across Australia’s football landscape, with many emphasising the incredible standards set by Mossin since her debut just three years ago.

“This award is testament to Isabella’s hard work and dedication to refereeing, and a great reflection of the next generation of referees coming through the system in Australia,” said A-Leagues CEO, Steve Rosich.

“At just 25 years of age, she has consistently demonstrated composure, leadership, strong decision-making and the ability to perform under pressure in some of the biggest matches in the competition,” highlighted Football Australia Head of Referees, Jon Moss.

“Having someone refereeing their first Ninja A-league Women’s Grand Final at the age of 25 years should inspire all girls and young women referees (and potential referees) and show them that age is not a barrier to talent being recognised within Football Australia refereeing,” said Chair of Football Australia Referee Committee, David Elleray.

Given Mossin’s reputation and experience already at the top level of women’s football in Australia, there is no doubt that she will rise to the occasion this Saturday.

Female Football Week kicks off across Northern NSW

Female Football Week has officially begun across Northern NSW, with a program of gala days, networking events and awards ceremonies running until Sunday May 17, marking a ten-day celebration that organisers say reflects both the growth of women’s football in the region and the work still required to sustain it.

The national initiative, now a fixture on the football calendar, provides a dedicated period of visibility for female participants across all levels of the game from players, coaches, referees to volunteers, whose contributions have historically received less recognition than their male counterparts.

NNSWF Participation and Women’s Football Officer Serena Carter said the week offered something for everyone connected to women’s football in the region.

“Female Football Week provides a fantastic chance to highlight the dedication and skill of female players, coaches, referees and volunteers across the northern NSW community,” Carter said. “There’s something for everyone to enjoy, from grassroots participants to elite competitors.”

Women’s football in northern NSW spans remote and regional communities where clubs operate on limited resources, alongside more established metropolitan programs with clearer development pathways. Female Football Week creates a moment of shared recognition across that spectrum and acknowledges the role volunteers play, from running the canteen to progressing through the pathway.

Northern NSW Football has recorded some of its strongest participation numbers in women’s and girls’ football in recent seasons, a trend that has placed increasing pressure on clubs and facilities to keep pace. The week’s events offer clubs an opportunity to showcase their commitment to diversity and inclusion at a time when that commitment is being tested by growth.
