‘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.

Football NSW

The Italian sportswear brand has collaborated with Football NSW since 2022, and will continue as the Official Apparel Supplier until the end of 2030.

Extending the partnership 

Football NSW CEO, John Tsatsimas, has expressed his enthusiasm for the extended collaboration with Kappa. 

“We are delighted to continue our partnership with Kappa, a brand that has consistently demonstrated its passion for football and its commitment to delivering excellence,” Tstatsimas said. 

“We look forward to working closely with Kappa as we continue to grow the game and provide opportunities for players, coaches, and communities across New South Wales,”he continued.

Having worked with Football NSW since 2022, the renewed partnership due to run until the end of 2030 is a strong reflection of the Italian sportswear brand’s track record for supplying high-quality apparel to both players and staff. In the past, Kappa has provided their services to State Teams, Talent Support Programs and the annual NAIDOC Cup. 

Kappa’s high-quality history

Initially founded in Turin as Calzificio Torinese in 1916, Kappa has developed throughout the 20th and 21st century into a worldwide giant in the sports apparel industry. 

Since becoming Kappa in 1978 under the guidance of Founder and President, Marco Boglione, the brand has worked with some of Europe’s most iconic clubs. Previous partnerships have been with FC Barcelona, Juventus and AC Milan. Kappa currently sponsors two Serie A clubs, Genoa FC and ACF Fiorentina, as well as OGC Nice in Ligue 1. 

Kappa Australia Director, Zeev Bogaty, affirmed Kappa’s commitment to supporting football in NSW. 

“As we embark on another five years as the state’s official apparel partner and continue our close working relationship with Football NSW, we look forward to contributing even more to the growth and success of football across the state,” Bogaty said via press release. 

Kappa’s reputation in the industry is undeniable. As a leader in the world of sports apparel and teamwear, and with a proven record of supplying kits to some of football’s biggest clubs across the world, it is no wonder why Football NSW was keen to continue working alongside Kappa in the seasons to come.
