Football Australia and CommBank have announced a major new agreement, committing to a substantial six-year investment in the future of Australian football.
As part of the deal, CommBank will become Football Australia’s primary sponsor across all levels of the game.
This builds on CommBank’s support of the CommBank Matildas, ParaMatildas, and Pararoos, and now includes naming rights for the Socceroos and youth championships.
The partnership will focus on keeping young Australians in the game, from grassroots to elite, while helping discover and develop future stars through top youth tournaments.
Since partnering in 2021, CommBank has helped drive a 27% rise in women’s and girls’ football, and Matildas matches have seen over 17 straight sell-outs.
Through the Growing Football Fund, over 230 local clubs have received grants to grow the game in their communities.
Together, CommBank and Football Australia are committed to making football inclusive and accessible for all Australians.
CommBank’s CEO Matt Comyn called this the most thrilling chapter yet for the sport in Australia.
“With the Socceroos facing the upcoming FIFA World Cup 2026, and the CommBank Matildas preparing for the Australian-hosted AFC Women’s Asia Cup, there has never been a more exciting time to be a fan of football in Australia,” Comyn said in a press release.
“When we partnered with Football Australia as naming rights sponsors of the CommBank Matildas, they were about to embark on a history making international campaign, and what an incredible amount they’ve achieved for Australian football and women’s sport since 2021.
“CommBank is proud to play our part in extending the incredible growth we’ve seen in the female game over the past few years into all facets of the game, including the men’s, para athletes and youth competitions – we are committed to promoting supporting inclusivity, keeping communities connected, and ensuring a brighter future for all.”
Interim Football Australia CEO Heather Garriock said the renewed partnership with CommBank is a values-driven collaboration focused on growing the game for all Australians.
“We are beyond delighted to take this next step in our relationship with CommBank and continue with our joint purpose of creating a game that is accessible to and loved by all Australians,” Garriock said in a press release.
“CommBank have been incredible partners since 2021 – in the four years since, we have together taken the women’s and para games from strength to strength, and we cannot wait to extend this success into other programs.
“This is so much more than a sponsorship agreement, it is a values-aligned business partnership through which we will innovate and support each other in many ways – with a core aim of improving the lives of Australians through the world game right across the country. We look forward to embarking on this next step in our journey together.”
Starting from the 1st of September 2025, CBA will be the official naming rights partner of both the CommBank Matildas and the newly named CommBank Socceroos.
Together, CommBank and Football Australia are shaping a stronger, more inclusive future for football across the nation.
