Arsenal FC have extended their partnership with Adidas, one of the biggest sport manufactures in the world, until 2030.

Ever since the beginning of when the current collaboration was renewed, the North London club have broken new ground with powerful purpose-led campaigns and product ranges grounded in the capital of England which persist to influence and attract their supporters around the globe.

Adidas and Arsenal reunited their partnership back in the 2019/20 season after 25 years apart.

The prolonged partnership will have a growing focus on Arsenal Women with strengthened marketing rights that will bring increased international exposure for the team and players, continuing the dedication to propel the women’s game.

The mission will be to build on the collaboration with Stella McCartney for Adidas which had seen the launch of a bespoke travel range for the women’s team.

As part of the new accord, Arsenal’s strategy will be beneficial from knowledge and gaining insight from the experience of Adidas, as the trade name obtains to meet its goal of replacing virgin polyester with recycled polyester in Adidas products by 2024 wherever necessary.

The extension also allows Arsenal to carry on with providing support for their local communities.

The club earlier this year launched No More Red, a long term vision to address the causes of youth violence by taking care of adolescents through the creation of safe spaces and active guidance with trusted role models.

For every sale Arsenal has made of their home shirt for this season, they have donated it to The Arsenal Foundation to provide support for local community projects.

Arsenal Chief Commercial Officer Juliet Slot said via press release:

“We’re delighted to agree a new partnership with adidas until 2030. The long-term nature of our extension means there’s a real commitment to build on this brilliant collaboration, with a strong focus on growing women’s football and developing our sustainability strategy.”

Adidas Chief Executive Officer Kasper Rorsted, added in a statement.

“We believe in helping the local community in London, investing in the causes and issues that matter most to them, and through exciting products and authentic storytelling, we’re looking forward to celebrating the rich and diverse Arsenal fanbase globally in the years ahead.”

The announcement follows a summer for both the men’s and women’s squad were hosted at Adidas’ global headquarters in Herzogenaurach, Germany for pre-season training.

The 2026 Queensland Football Convention has expanded its speaker lineup. Robbie Kruse, Emma McKeon, Jon Moss and Tony Wilson are joining previously confirmed headliner Mark Bosnich. The four new additions will bring experience from football, elite sport, refereeing and high performance to the two-day convention at the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre on the 10th and 11th of October.

Bosnich was announced in August as the event’s featured speaker. The former Socceroo and Premier League goalkeeper will take part in an exclusive Q&A covering his career, life in football and the pathways available to Australia’s next generation of players. Robbie Kruse adds another strong football voice to the program. Queensland’s most-capped Socceroo will share lessons from a career that took him from local football to the FIFA World Cup and UEFA Champions League. Now working in coaching and player development, Kruse will focus on pathways, talent development and the challenge of making the step into elite football.

McKeon – Australia’s most decorated Olympian – will bring a different perspective in exploring the principles behind high performance. Her session will cover teamwork, resilience, goal setting and the value of small improvements when competing at the highest level.

Former Premier League referee and current-Football Australia Head of Referees Jon Moss will also return, examining the relationship between coaches and match officials. He will focus on communication, mutual respect and collaboration, while also looking at the future of refereeing in Australia and the role coaches and clubs can play in supporting officials.

Tony Wilson, founder of Performance Lab, completes the newly announced group. As keynote speaker, Wilson will examine mindset, leadership, culture and resilience, drawing on his work with elite athletes, teams and organisations across Australia and the United States. The expanded program gives coaches, administrators and football professionals access to perspectives from across the sporting landscape.

The Queensland Football Convention will take place at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre. The convention takes place from the 9th to the 11th of October.

Sydney FC targets B2B growth with new corporate network

Sydney FC is looking to turn its existing corporate relationships into a broader business development platform with the launch of The Collective, a new membership network built around connections between businesses.

The initiative, launched ahead of the 2026/27 A-League season, will combine corporate events, matchday experiences and behind-the-scenes access with opportunities for members to engage directly with Sydney FC’s wider commercial network.

Rather than positioning the offering solely around hospitality, the club is placing business development at the centre of the proposition. Members identify the organisations and individuals they want to connect with, and Sydney FC and The Collective work together to facilitate those introductions

Sydney FC Executive Vice Chairman Sebastian Gray said the club’s already diverse corporate network will only benefit from this initiative.

“Football is a fantastic vehicle for bringing people together, but we want The Collective to go beyond matchday,” Gray said. “It will be about creating connections, opening doors and providing experiences that our members genuinely value throughout the year.”

The club has partnered with Andrew Towner, founder of The Corporate Collective, to develop the network. Towner has previously built a business community around the NRL and will bring that experience into the Sydney FC platform.

The Collective will be offered through Premium and Standard membership packages, giving businesses different levels of access to events, experiences and the club’s corporate network.

For Sydney FC, the model adds another layer to its commercial partnership strategy, moving beyond individual sponsorship assets to create a recurring platform for B2B engagement.

It also gives the club another way to demonstrate commercial value to its business partners, with networking and potential new business opportunities becoming part of the proposition alongside traditional brand exposure and hospitality.
