Digi the main sponsor of Cadiz CF until the end of the season

Cadiz CF

The telecommunications operator of Digi Communications, in short Digi, has signed with Spanish football club Cadiz CF, where the multinational company becomes the club’s main sponsor until the conclusion of the season.

The organisation carries out the change clause during the halfway point of the competition, with Khalifa Capital being on the sleeve of the first kit.

Since 1985, Digi International Inc. has spearheaded the wireless communications industry, shaping the future landscape for devices to connect easily and responding to the needs of clients as well as the enterprises that use them.

Prior to the Internet of Things, Digi built M2M and IoT devices, modifying to enhance the networking standards and the optimised data communications on every side of the most advanced protocols and emerging technologies.

Some of the solutions that have been a breath of fresh air across the loT landscape include but are not limited to radio frequency modems to gateways, cellular routers, networking devices, and single-board computers (SBCs).

Nowadays, the IoT offering includes sensor-based solutions, an enlightened platform for remote monitoring device deployments of any size that can be used anywhere, anytime.

With this contract, Digi wants to back both the club and its ever faith fans, the American based Industrial Internet of Things technology company reinforces its dedication to the Spanish club by changing from being the Club’s Official Sponsor to being the team’s Main Sponsor in the second half of the season.

Digi’s Chief Commercial Officer Angel Alvarez said via press release:

“We are proud to support this Club with which we share values such as effort and teamwork. This is a very special project for us and we are convinced that it will allow us to achieve many accomplishments together.”

Cadiz CF President Manuel Vizcaino added via press release:

“Digi is a great company, with which we are delighted to continue working hand in hand and with which we are sure we will continue to reap success.”

Digi has its own fibre network offices in Cadiz, Fibra SMART, and also with its PRO-DIGI fibre service, reaching up to 10 Gbps speed which is the fastest network in the country at the residential level.

The club wore its new front-of-shirt sponsor against Athletic Club early last month in what promises to be a beneficial collaboration for both parties.

SBS expands Australian Championship broadcast coverage for 2026

The Australian Championship will enter its second season with an expanded broadcast partnership between Football Australia and SBS. The 2026 competition will feature two live SBS broadcasts in every round, marking an increase from the tournament’s debut season.

Thursday night football will form a key part of the new broadcast schedule. The opening match will see Preston Lions face Wollongong Wolves on October 15th, with the game broadcast live on SBS2 and SBS On Demand. Saturday football will also remain part of the free-to-air schedule; first up, Sutherland Sharks’ clash with South Melbourne on October 17th will be shown live on SBS and SBS On Demand.

The expanded agreement gives the competition a greater presence across SBS’s linear channels while retaining its full streaming coverage, with every match across the 2026 Australian Championship available live on SBS On Demand. The platform also provides full replays and highlights for viewers to access at their discretion.

In addition to SBS’ coverage, Football Australia will also stream the competition via YouTube.

The Australian Championship consists of a six-round group stage, finals beginning at quarter-finals from November 26, and a Grand Final scheduled currently between December 10-12.

It features 16 clubs from seven states and territories. The broadcast schedule places several historic fixtures in front of a national audience: South Melbourne will meet Sydney United 58 in a repeat of the 1999 NSL Grand Final, and Sydney Olympic and Marconi Stallions will also renew a rivalry that includes NSL Grand Final meetings in 1989 and 1990.

GIS Sydney continues to connect students with Australia’s sports industry

Following the launch of its Sydney campus in 2025, the Global Institute of Sport (GIS) is continuing to establish itself in the nation’s sports industry. A leading provider of degrees and executive education in sport, GIS provides students the chance to study at two of Australia’s biggest sporting venues: Allianz Stadium and the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG).

Programs such as Sports Analytics and International Sports Business are delivered in collaboration with the University of Newcastle, and feature the chance for students to gain exclusive access to the sports industry.

More than 50 guest speakers have shared their experience with students studying at GIS Sydney, representing organisations like FIFA, Red Bull, Cricket Australia, and the AFL. While learning about the regional and national sports industry in the classroom, students have also had the chance to gain an international perspective through GIS’ signature Global Sports Summits, which have given Sydney students access to iconic sporting venues around the world from London to Miami.

Outside of the iconic venues students can call their classrooms, the organisation prioritises the real, industry placements needed to put theory into practice by providing each student with 140 hours of relevant work experience throughout their studies. Included in this are several sporting organisations who are keen to welcome GIS students on board, including the Professional Football Scouts Association (PFSA), Football Coaches Australia, and Basketball NSW.

GIS also has a partnership with popular network and app Yakka Sport to connect students with paid employment opportunities while they study.

Behind these advancements at the GIS Sydney campus is an Industry Advisory Board which features a host of experienced figures from the world of sport. Included in the Asia-Pacific branch is Chair James Rosengarten, GM of the Melbourne Renegades; Kevin Jang, Managing Director of CAA Stellar Korea; and Brad Lloyd, GM of the Carlton Football Club.

Since launching, GIS’ Sydney campus has ultimately combined its locations and industry connections to provide the next generation of sports professionals with the knowledge, network, and confidence to tackle the rapidly evolving sports industry.
