Brisbane Roar have confirmed a new collaboration with Queensland-based transport logistics company, Cannon Logistics for the upcoming 2025/26 Isuzu UTE A-League Men season.

Modern Fleet and Advanced Technology to Back the Club’s Journey

Cannon Logistics is a transport and logistics company who specialise in general road freight, refrigerated transportation, and cold and dry storage services like meat, fruit and vegetables for producers across Queensland and northern New South Wales.

With more than 35 years of expertise in refrigerated transport and warehousing, Cannon Logistics operates a modern fleet of trucks and trailers, supported by advanced temperature and humidity control technology to keep every delivery in top condition.

The logistics company originally partnered with Brisbane Roar in late 2019, as well as a short partnership with the Capalaba Bulldogs Football Club as a major sponsor, supporting its Senior NPL Academy at the start of 2020.

The back-of-shorts partnership between Brisbane Roar and Cannon Logistics mirrors this week’s renewed deal with Carina Leagues Club for Brisbane Roar’s women’s back-of-shorts branding ahead of the 2025/26 season.

Shared Vision Highlighted in Official Statements

Brisbane Roar Chief Operations Officer, Zac Anderson welcomed Cannon Logistics back into the football club’s family, mentioning the company’s history of supporting the football community in the city.

“It is fantastic to welcome Cannon Logistics back to the Brisbane Roar family, who have supported the wider Brisbane football community for many years,” he said via Club Statement.

“As a leader in their field, our new partnership with Cannon Logistics exemplifies where we are heading as a football club and we wish to thank Zac Popov and Cannon Logistics for coming back on board for the 25/26 season.”

Cannon Logistics Director, Zac Popov mentioned the importance the company has to the Queensland football community and the excitement to have a successful Brisbane Roar team.

“We are pleased to be sponsoring Brisbane Roar for the 2025/2026 A League season,” he said via Club Statement.

“I felt it was important to partner with Brisbane Roar at this time, as I, like many in the Queensland football community would be excited to have a successful Brisbane Roar.

“My company Cannon Logistics is doing its bit to help this come to fruition. I look forward to watching coach Michael Valkanis and his team of players having a successful campaign this season.”

The deal will have Cannon Logistics branding displayed on the back of the player’s shorts for the men’s team.

Heidelberg United strengthens ties with Melbourne City Toyota

Heidelberg United FC

It was announced via social media on Tuesday this week that Melbourne City Toyota would be extending their longstanding collaboration with Heidelberg United FC ahead of the 2026 season. 

 

A longstanding connection

The news of a collaboration between Heidelberg United and Melbourne City Toyota will come as no surprise to all those associated with the club. With a connection going all the way back to 2013, their professional relationship is built on solid foundations rooted within the Melbourne community. 

‘Heidelberg United FC is pleased to announce the continued support of our valued partner, Melbourne City Toyota, a proud sponsor since the inception of the NPL,’ the club said via an announcement made on social media. 

With a strong presence across several locations in Melbourne, including Heidelberg itself, Melbourne City Toyota represents an invaluable source of local support for Heidelberg United. 

 

An exciting project 

Since their first collaboration when the NPL first formed in 2013, Melbourne City Toyota have been an ever-present part of Heidelberg United’s journey to becoming one of the most formidable clubs in the NPL. 

In the past three seasons, the club has consistently risen up the NPLM VIC table. A mere two years on from finishing 9th in 2023, the men’s team achieved huge success last season as they became NPLM Victoria champions and reached the final of the Australian Cup. Although the latter ended in defeat, victories against A-League giants like Auckland FC showcased Heidelberg’s quality. 

The women’s team has also enjoyed plenty of success since joining the NPLW in 2016. Most notably, they achieved back-to-back Premiership titles in 2024 and 2025. With such success being showcased in both the NPLM and NPLW, there are certainly no question marks over Heidelberg United’s standing as one of the most exciting footballing projects not only in Victoria, but in all Australia.

 

New chapter, old partners

As clubs continue their preparations for the 2026 season, establishing local support and building community connections will be crucial. ‘The Bergers’ will no doubt be looking to count on the backing of Melbourne City Toyota as both a local and loyal partner in their endeavours on and off the pitch. 

 

‘Back together!’ – SD Raiders FC announce partnership with GIOCA

SD Raiders FC

In an announcement made via social media on Friday, SD Raiders FC revealed they would be collaborating once more with sports brand and apparel supplier GIOCA. 

 

Old partners, new goals

While the SD Raiders and GIOCA only announced the news of their upcoming collaboration on Friday, the bond between these two organisations goes back nearly a decade. 

One of GIOCA’S first club partners was with SD Raiders FC back in 2016. The recent announcement highlights the strong connections established with the club which have endured nearly a decade later. 

“Back together! A full circle moment as we re-join forces with SD Raiders FC – one of our very first club partners all those years ago,” GIOCA said via an announcement on social media. 

As SD Raiders look to tackle their first season in the NPL NSW, reigniting a longstanding relationship with GIOCA will be an invaluable source of support for the club both on and off the pitch. 

 

By footballers, for footballers

What sets GIOCA apart from other apparel suppliers in Australia is the links engrained within the company to the footballing world. The brand prides itself on being created by current and former professionals to ensure their clients and partners receive high-quality apparel, custom jerseys and football accessories. 

Since its inception 10 years ago, GIOCA has grown into a highly-regarded sports brand in Australia, with operations expanding across New South Wales, Queensland and Victoria. SD Raiders FC will join several clubs due to partner with GIOCA in 2026, including Ormeau FC (QLD), Narellan Rangers Soccer Club (NSW) and North Coast Football. 

 

A recipe for success

GIOCA stands as an exciting partner for SD Raiders FC not just for the apparel services they provide, but for their history of working with clubs aiming for success. 

Just last season, the brand worked with NWS Spirit as they clinched the NPL NSW title, as well as with Melbourne-based side, Bentleigh Greens, who achieved promotion to the NPL VIC. SD Raiders FC will no doubt be hoping that their reestablished connections with GIOCA will lead to similar levels of success in 2026 and beyond.
