Northern NSW Football has expressed excitement having confirmed a formal collaboration with the Newcastle Jets.
This partnership highlights NNSWF’s dedication to supporting the Newcastle Jets, the region’s sole professional A-Leagues club, with a strong focus on the Jets Academy and access to the Lake Macquarie Regional Football Facility.
NNSWF will support the Newcastle Jets Academy by featuring prominently on the Academy’s playing and training kits and by providing ongoing access to top-tier football facilities at LMRFF for training sessions and matches.
NNSWF will be represented at the Jets’ men’s and women’s A-League home games through match day sponsorship, advertising signage, and sponsorship of two NNSWF and Jets Academy players, Ben Van Dorssen and Claire Adams, who are involved in the senior squads.
The partnership will enable NNSWF to offer the football community access to the club, including Newcastle Jets players and match days through events held at home games. This includes opportunities for clubs to take part in halftime hero and mascot activities.
Northern NSW Football CEO Peter Haynes was excited to reveal the significant partnership.
“It’s an exciting new era for the Newcastle Jets with Maverick Sports Group becoming the club’s owners which makes this the perfect time for Northern NSW Football to formally partner with the club,” he said via press release.
“We acknowledge our responsibility to support the talented player pathway and help the club identify and develop local talent. We want to see more local talent like Will Dobson and Emma Dundas working their way through the pathway into playing professionally.
“This partnership highlights Northern NSW Football’s commitment to do everything within our power to help the Newcastle Jets be a successful and sustainable club on and off the pitch.”
Newcastle Jets Executive Director, Maurice Bisetto, shared similar sentiments.
“Northern NSW Football and the Newcastle Jets is the quintessential perfect partnership,” he said via press release.
“As the peak body for football in the region, NNSWF are uniquely qualified to collaborate with the Jets as we both have an accountability for the development of male and female footballers.
“We are both passionate about football and footballers in the region and the closer we work together, the higher the likelihood of developing the next Socceroo or Matilda from the region.
“We look forward to strengthening and growing our relationship with NNSWF into the future.”
NNSWF has also joined the Newcastle Jets affiliate membership program, allowing the football community throughout the region to buy memberships, with a portion of the fees supporting NNSWF’s pathway and development initiatives.
