TX Football Unveils New 2026 Kit Range in Partnership with Corio Soccer Club

TX Football has unveiled its 2026 kit range in collaboration with Corio Football Club, marking a partnership that combines tradition, performance, and a shared commitment to the grassroots game.

Built around Corio’s unmistakable green and white hoops, the new kit honours the club’s history while introducing a refined, modern design suited to the demands of contemporary football. The bold horizontal pattern symbolises unity and collective strength — a reflection of the players, volunteers, and supporters who form the backbone of the club.

Alongside the home strip, TX Football has also introduced Corio’s striking 2026 away kit. Built on a commanding deep red base, the design reflects pride, passion, and presence on the pitch. Sharp tonal pinstripes run vertically through the body of the jersey, creating a structured and confident silhouette that balances classic football aesthetics with a modern edge.

The range is engineered with elite-grade performance fabric, breathable airflow zones, and an athletic cut, the away kit is designed to support high-tempo football while maintaining comfort and durability across both match day and training environments. Worn proudly over the heart, the Corio crest remains a symbol of unity and heritage, while the TX mark across the chest highlights the strength of the partnership between Corio Soccer Club and TX Football.

Competitive Edge

The collaboration also reflects TX Football’s broader philosophy of precision, transparency, and quality within the football industry. The Australian brand prides itself on focusing on the technical details behind its products and maintaining full oversight of its manufacturing process. By controlling production from start to finish through its dedicated factory, TX Football ensures every piece of equipment meets strict quality standards developed through more than six decades of football manufacturing experience.

Corporate Social Responsibility Initiatives

Beyond performance, the partnership highlights shared values around responsibility and community impact. TX Football supports charitable initiatives through its work with the Reagan Milstein Foundation, donating $2 from every retail football sold to help promote access to the game and redistribute sports equipment to communities in need.

The company also maintains a strong commitment to ethical manufacturing practices, undertaking independent workplace and environmental audits while fostering a gender-diverse and inclusive workforce.

For Corio Soccer Club, the partnership represents more than a kit launch. It reflects a collaboration with a brand that understands the importance of quality, transparency, and supporting football at every level.

As players step onto the pitch in 2026, the jersey will serve as more than a uniform — it will be a symbol of Corio’s identity, pride, and the enduring strength of the community that stands behind it.

Football Queensland has welcomed Musco Lighting as its Official Lighting Partner, bringing world-class sports lighting expertise to football clubs and facilities across the state.

The partnership will support Football Queensland clubs as participation continues to grow across the state, helping communities access safer, higher-quality and more accessible football facilities.

Musco Lighting is a global leader in sports lighting, with more than 50 years of experience delivering lighting solutions across sporting venues worldwide.

Through the new partnership, Football Queensland clubs will have access to Musco’s specialist expertise and solutions as they look to improve and develop their lighting infrastructure.

Football Queensland CEO Robert Cavallucci said the partnership represented an important step in supporting the continued growth of football across Queensland.

“I’m proud to see this partnership between Football Queensland and Musco come to life.

“With participation continuing to grow across Queensland, the need for quality football infrastructure has never been greater. This partnership will help our clubs access world-class lighting expertise to create safer, better and more accessible facilities for their communities.

The partnership provides an opportunity to combine Football Queensland’s extensive network across the state’s football community with Musco’s global expertise in sports lighting, supporting clubs as they continue to invest in facilities that meet the needs of their growing participation bases.

Football Queensland and Musco will work together to help clubs identify lighting solutions that can enhance facility quality and accessibility, supporting more opportunities for players and communities to participate in football.

The company’s FIFA Preferred Provider certification and involvement in the recent FIFA World Cup further demonstrates its expertise in delivering lighting systems to the highest international standards.

The partnership with Football Queensland will bring this expertise closer to Queensland’s football community, providing clubs with access to a specialist lighting partner as the game continues to grow across the state.

FIFPRO demands governance reform after FIFA’s FFE failure

While FIFA cancelled plans to move forward with FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE), FIFPRO are demanding change at the top of football’s global governing body.

‘Abuse of power’

The plan to sell minority stakes in future FIFA competitions to private investors brought intense criticism from fans across the world.

Governing bodies including UEFA (Europe), CONCACAF (North America, Central America and the Caribbean) and the AFC (Asia) rallied against FFE and FIFA President Gianni Infantino, leading to a crisis meeting in Morocco to determine Infantino’s seemingly untenable position at the head of world football governance.

The meeting, however, confirmed Infantino will remain as FIFA President going forward – a decision which has since prompted FIFPRO to make their stance clear: governance reform is a must.

“The withdrawal of FFE was inevitable. But withdrawing the proposal does not erase what it revealed,” the organisation said via an official statement on the FIFPRO website.

“A plan capable of permanently altering the ownership and governance of the FIFA World Cup, and commercialising the competitions built by generations of players, was conceived in secrecy, negotiated behind closed doors and brought to the brink of agreement before the FIFA Council, the Member Associations, players and football’s recognised stakeholders even knew it existed.”

“That is not merely a governance failure. It is a profound abuse of presidential power.”

 

How to navigate governance post-FFE

As reiterated by FIFPRO, the FFE controversy arrived a mere few weeks after a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between FIFA and the player’s union marked an optimistic step to a more collaborative future.

But what was previously a step in the right direction, now seems an insufficient policy to protect players – and the wider landscape of world football – from future unilateral decisions at the top.

FIFPRO’s demands – agreed upon by the Presidents of all FIFPRO regional divisions across Africa, Asia/Oceania, Europe, South America and Central & North America – include measures such as:

  • Using the Global Social Dialogue Platform as fundamental part of FIFA’s governance
  • Engagement with stakeholders over future decisions affecting the professional game
  • Voting rights for professional football’s stakeholders on the FIFA Council
  • Structural reforms to prevent future unilateral decisions

The message from FIFPRO is therefore clear. Now is not the time to rest on criticism; stakeholders in the professional game must encourage action and reform.

“These reforms are now indespensable. But they are the responsibility of the future, not an absolution of the past,” FIFPRO continued via their official statement.

“The players did not create this crisis. They will insist that football emerges from it with stronger institutions, stronger safeguards and leadership worthy of the trust the game demands.”
