Built on smart design and innovative fabrics, the company has quickly grown from supporting just two local clubs to partnering with more than 30 teams, delivering gear that looks sharp, feels comfortable, and performs where it matters most: on the field.

Tradex Co Founder and Melbourne Branch Manager, Shah Ali Rajput, highlighted the strong values shared between the two organisations and full of praise for Casey Comets’ proud history and future ambitions.

“Casey Comets has a proud and long-standing history of producing exceptional talent, including players who have reached the highest level of Scottish football — a remarkable achievement that few clubs can claim. The club’s intent to continue nurturing elite talent while placing a strong emphasis on women’s football in the coming years is truly inspiring, laying a solid foundation for future success,” he said to Soccerscene.

“Our vision at TX aligns perfectly with this commitment to women’s football development. We are deeply thankful to the Casey Comets committee for the opportunity to partner with them, helping the club look and perform at their best — both on and off the field.”

Casey Comets’ Secretary and Treasurer, Danielle Stanojlovic, expressed her excitement about the partnership, highlighting how Tradex Co’s community-first approach and affordability stood out from the rest.

“Our decision to go with Tradex Co was simply because their values aligned with ours, they were very community motivated and they wanted the emphasis on kids and adults that love the game, which is something we are really committed in,” she said to Soccerscene.

“In terms of their kits and merchandise, they were one of the few suppliers that we found to be super affordable meaning that families could be able to purchase their things. They looked really good and were incredibly proud to have them as a sponsor as well so they have a pleasure and a delight, and we look forward to building the relationship with them and building our community specifically our women’s and girls division.”

This partnership marks an exciting new chapter for Casey Comets as the club continues to strengthen its commitment to players, families, and the wider football community.

APL and PFA remain without agreement as bargaining tensions continue

The Australian Professional Leagues (APL) and Professional Footballers Australia (PFA) remain without a new collective bargaining agreement, with negotiations continuing less than three months before the start of the 2026–27 A-Leagues season.

The APL presented the players’ union with a new one-year interim proposal on August 5, which included an increase to the A-League Women salary cap and a commitment to establish a pathway towards full-time professionalism for the women’s competition within 12 months.

The proposed agreement would provide an interim framework while the two parties continue discussions over a longer-term collective bargaining agreement.

APL chief executive Steve Rosich said the proposal reflected the league’s commitment to reaching a sustainable agreement with players following eight months of negotiations.

However, the PFA criticised the APL for publicly announcing the proposal shortly after presenting it to the union, arguing that the approach had further damaged trust between the two parties.

PFA Chief Executive Beau Busch also said players had overwhelmingly rejected the APL’s previous final offer, citing a lack of trust in the league’s ability to ensure its future.

Full-time professionalism for the A-League Women remains a key priority for the PFA, with players seeking improved conditions and greater investment in the competition.

The A-League Men and A-League Women seasons are both scheduled to begin on 16 October 2026.

With the new season approaching, both parties face pressure to resolve the dispute and establish the framework governing player conditions across the A-Leagues.

 

 

Jeff Bezos consortium set for $2.7 billion Liverpool investment

Liverpool could soon welcome one of the world’s richest men into its ownership structure.

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is part of a consortium in advanced talks to buy a 30% stake in the club.

The proposed deal values Liverpool at around $8.6 billion (4.5 billion pounds). Bezos has a personal fortune estimated at $363 billion.

The investment would give Fenway Sports Group (FSG) a major financial return. It would also allow FSG to keep control of the club, which they bought in 2010.

The proposal has attracted attention across football. It has also created concern among sections of the Liverpool fanbase.

FSG set for major return

FSG bought Liverpool for $573 million (300 million pounds) in 2010. The ownership group later provided further funding through loans. In the last 16 years, the club has undergone major growth.

Liverpool ended a 30-year wait for a league title in 2020. The club also won the Champions League in 2019. Another Premier League title followed in 2025.

Stadium redevelopment and a new training centre have also increased the club’s value. FSG could cash in on $2.7 billion (1.4 billion pounds) if the 30% share is sold.

The deal would therefore represent a huge return on its original investment. However, whilst the investment would provide a massive cash out for the owners of Liverpool, due to Financial Fair Play there won’t be increased investment in the transfer market.

Why Bezos wants Liverpool

Bezos has explored sports investments before. He has been linked with major American franchises such as the NFL’s Seattle Seahawks.

Liverpool would give him a stake in one of football’s biggest global brands. The club also has a large following in the United States. The New York Times has also reported Liverpool has 26 million fans in America.

That makes the investment attractive for investors looking to expand their reach in global sport. American businessmen Eduardo Saverin and Amit Bhatia are also reportedly involved in the consortium.

The deal would add to the growing American influence across English football.

Fans remain cautious

Liverpool supporters have not automatically welcomed the proposal.

The club’s previous experience under Tom Hicks and George Gillett still influences the fanbase.

Supporters also want greater clarity over the consortium’s intentions. Questions remain over board representation, control and the long-term purpose of the investment.

For many fans, ownership must involve more than financial ambition. The Bezos proposal could strengthen Liverpool’s commercial position. It could also deliver a huge payday for FSG.

But until the consortium reveals more about its plans, supporters are likely to treat the deal with scepticism.
