Western Sydney Wanderers FC have revealed a three year partnership with BMD, Australia’s biggest privately owned and operated civil engineering, design, construction and land development contractor.

The agreement, set to last until 2025, will centre primarily on the Liberty A-League, in line with the company’s commitment to bolster women’s representation for industry sectors where a female minority currently exists.

BMD, officially known as The BMD Group, operates five companies in BMD Construction. These are BMD Urban, Empower Engineers & Project Managers, JMac Constructions and Urbex. Established in Queensland in 1979, they now employ over 1800 workers Australia-wide, resourcing and delivering projects across the country. Most notably for their latest partnership, they have been operating in the Western Sydney region for more than two decades already.

In addition to establishing themselves as a leading company in the construction sector, BMD are simultaneously spear-heading women’s involvement in an otherwise under-represented field.

BMD CEO, Scott Power, said via press release:

“We are committed to ensuring our female representation sits above industry standard and we are proud that over the past eight years we have seen a 74 per cent increase in the number of women in our business which currently sits at 19 per cent. […] The partnership with the Wanderers women’s team is the perfect opportunity to extend this commitment to help other underrepresented industries, while giving back to the local community in which BMD operates.”

Western Sydney Wanderers CEO Scott Hudson added via press release:

“BMD has been industry leaders in their work in supporting and advocating for women in a number of industries, so it is fantastic to see this now transition to their support of women in sport. We look forward to working closely with CEO Scott Power and his team at BMD over the next three years.”

Western Sydney Wanderers are the latest in a series of partnerships undertaken by BMD in the sporting sector, which caters for National Rugby League (NRL) team North Queensland Cowboys, Australian Football League (AFL) outfit Brisbane Lions in both men’s and women’s leagues, and the Queensland Rugby League senior women’s state-wide competition, the BMD Premiership.

In an announcement made yesterday, Victory revealed that P3 Recovery will become the club’s Official Recovery Partner.

 

Maximised recovery, guaranteed results

As a nationwide organisation specialising in recovery, performance and wellbeing, P3 Recovery’s alliance with Melbourne Victory promises to be hugely beneficial for players and members alike.

“As industry leaders, serving to inspire through the world’s game, very edge matters, and partnering with P3 Recovery provides a new dynamic to the support afforded to our players,” explained Melbourne Victory Managing Director, Caroline Carnegie.

“Melbourne Victory looks forward to seeing a positive uplift in recovery through this partnership.”

Indeed, with an extensive range of recovery methods on offer – from infrared saunas to hyperbaric oxygen therapy and more – P3 Recovery stands as a valubale partner for players looking to maximise performance and recovery during the season.

Although the partnership is new, P3’s Richmond location already provides team recovery sessions and injury rehabilitation. Their commitment to Victory’s physical and mental wellbeing is unquestionable, so it is not surprising why P3 Recovery are the latest local business to join the Victory family.

Supporting professionals and public

While P3 Recovery will help Victory’s A-league Men’s and A-League Women’s team with physical recovery, the alliance will bring many benefits to locals seeking guidance on health and lifestyle choices.

“We’re passionate about helping people take control of their health through expert-led therapies, everyday performance tools and a welcoming space designed to help you feel better, move better and live better,” said P3 Franchisee, Naum Sekulovski.

“Whether you’re managing injury, chasing a goal or just need to reset, P3 is where recovery becomes a lifestyle.”

And with sport and physical activity such a huge factor in the lives of so many Melburnians, a partnership with Victory shows the entire city that when it comes to optimal recovery and service, P3 is there to support everyone in their sporting or personal goals.

Football South Australia renews partnership with Datacord as Community Football Commitment Deepens

Football South Australia has announced the renewal of its partnership with Datacord, continuing a relationship that has grown steadily since the South Australian print and document solutions provider first entered the football community as naming rights sponsor of the Collegiate Soccer League Division 1.

That initial agreement, which saw Datacord align with one of Adelaide’s most historic amateur competitions, marked the beginning of what has since developed into a broader commitment to South Australian football at every level. The renewed partnership extends Datacord’s involvement beyond the CSL and into the wider Football SA ecosystem, with clubs across the state now able to access exclusive offers and preferred pricing on photocopying, managed print services and tailored business solutions.

The practical value of that access should not be understated. Community football clubs operate on tight margins, relying heavily on volunteer administrators managing everything from registration paperwork to grant applications. Cost-effective print and document solutions reduce the operational burden on those volunteers, a small but meaningful contribution to the sustainability of clubs that form the backbone of the game in South Australia.

“George is a great supporter of sport in South Australia and we are delighted to have Datacord as a supporter of football,” said Football SA CEO Michael Carter. “Service is second to none and we highly recommend their services to the business community within the Football Family.”

For Datacord Managing Director George Koutsoubis, the renewal reflects a genuine investment in the community rather than a transactional commercial arrangement. “It is important to support the local community, and Football South Australia is the perfect place to start spreading the word about Datacord and what we do for the South Australian community,” he said. “We are locally owned and operated, and I think it is a great partnership to be part of.”
