Wellington Phoenix have confirmed the renewal of their partnership with Gazley Motors, marking the fifth consecutive season of support from one of the region’s most prominent family-owned businesses.

As part of the agreement, Phoenix players and staff will once again get behind the wheel of CUPRA’s range of high-performance Spanish vehicles throughout the 2025–26 A-League seasons.

Gazley, a trusted name in Wellington for over 20 years, continues to play a vital role in the local sporting landscape through its association with the Phoenix.

The partnership extension was officially announced during the launch of Gazley’s new CUPRA dealership at 41 Cambridge Terrace, just ahead of the club’s eagerly awaited pre-season clash with Wrexham AFC.

Phoenix general manager David Dome spoke at the launch of the CUPRA dealership about the deal and thanked Myles Gazley and his team for their commitment to the club.

“Myles is a passionate Wellingtonian and a champion of local business so it’s incredible to have the support of Gazley Motors for a fifth season,” he said at the launch event.

“I am lucky to have had the privilege of driving their world-class vehicles over the past four years and I know the players are going to absolute love getting behind the wheel of a CUPRA.

“With the support of Myles and his team I’m looking forward to seeing what our teams can achieve this season.”

Managing director Myles Gazley spoke with excitement about the ongoing partnership that is driving both companies forward.

“This is our fifth year supporting the club and it’s been incredible to watch the team grow both on and off the field,” Gazley said at the launch event.

“As a local, family-run business, getting behind Wellington sport and the wider community is something that we are truly passionate about.

“This year’s partnership is especially exciting with CUPRA now in the mix. It’s a great fit for the Phoenix. The cars are stylish, sporty, and built for performance, just like the team.

“The Phoenix have built something really special here in Wellington, and we’re proud to be part of that journey.”

This enduring partnership reflects a strong alignment of values between the club and Gazley Motors, both deeply committed to community, performance, and excellence.

The continued loyalty and support from Gazley not only strengthens the Phoenix off the pitch but also reinforces the importance of local business backing in the success and sustainability of professional football in New Zealand.

The Melbourne-based anf family-owned business will join the Victory family, uniting two institutions which represent the city’s culture and identity.

A partnership with local roots

As the newest partner of Melbourne Victory, Roasting Warehouse joins forces with a vital part of the city’s sporting landscape.

The club’s Managing Director, Caroline Carnegie, outlined why the partnership bears so much value to both parties.

“We are excited to collaborate with Roasting Warehouse, a community-oriented destination for high-quality coffee, proud of its foundations in Melbourne,” said Carnegie via official media release.

“Football and coffee sit at the epicentre of Melbourne’s culture. The two go hand-in-hand, consistently at the centre of the conversation that stirs Melburnians, which is no different to the conversation sport and Melbourne Victory stir in the State.”

Indeed, this is a partnership which combines the identity, passions and culture of an entire city, therefore giving it the foundations required for long-term, mutual success.

Representing the best of Melbourne

Both Victory and Roasting Warehouse are hugely successful in their respective industries. They are institutions with community-oriented philosphies, who pride themselves on craft and quality.

“As a Melbourne-founded, family-run business, supporting a team that means so much to the local community feels very natural for us.”

Furthermore, through their high-quality blends, Roasting Warehouse will look to prepare Victory’s players and staff for high performances on the pitch as the seasons nears completion.

But this is about far more than just fueling athletes.

This is a partnership which embodies and unites two of Melbourne’s greatest strengths and cultural markers – a connection forged from the city’s very own DNA.
