Western Sydney Wanderers are celebrating the fifth year of their partnership with refurbishment construction company Intermain in 2024 for their Women’s Liberty A-League team.
The partnership started in 2019, where Intermain agreed to a five-year contract with the Wanderers to become the Liberty A-League Women’s front of shirt partner and become part of the growing corporate partners group that the Wanderers have consciously built up.
Intermain is one of Australia’s leading refurbishment construction companies delivering end-to-end services, design, construction, refurbishment, fitout and joinery, for a wide range of commercial, government, healthcare, industrial and educational clients.
Intermain’s headquarters are based in Sydney and as a company they have quickly expanded to a group of 150 in teams on the ground in the ACT, Victoria and South Australia as well.
At the recent conclusion of the FIFA Women’s World cup, there have been a record number of membership signings for Liberty A-League clubs such as Melbourne Victory and Sydney FC, as well as an expected general uptick in girls grassroots participation with the goal for Football Australia to squeeze the juice out of the insane momentum the tournament has provided.
Intermain’s goal, as they reach the fifth and final year of this current contract, is to focus on the next generation of female footballers. The collaboration with the Wanderers will see them financially support the Future Wander Women Program, a free 20-week training program where young female footballers aged 14-17 in the Western Sydney area gather for trials with an opportunity to be discovered by club scouts.
Jason Sultana, the director at Intermain, expressed his excitement about connecting with the club during the growth of the women’s game.
“Growing up just around the corner from the club, I’ve supported Western Sydney Wanderers since its inception, and after having two girls of my own who love the game, I wanted to support a club that believes in building better opportunities for female players,” Sultana said via press release.
“We’re now heading into the fifth year of our sponsorship, and I couldn’t be prouder to see the Wanderers Women’s team go from strength-to-strength.”
Western Sydney Wanderers CEO Scott Hudson thanked Intermain for their belief and support over the last five years.
“It has been fantastic to work with Jason and his team over the last five years to support the next generation of female footballers from our Future Wander Women Program all the way to our Liberty A-Leagues squad,” Hudson added via media release.
“Intermain have been one of our most passionate supporters in the female football space and we look forward to working together for many more years to come.”
The fantastic stories of the Liberty A-League teams and league as a whole growing due to the momentum provided by the Women’s World Cup are a great sign for the future. Businesses like Intermain providing financial support for women’s programs are vital in fast-tracking the growth and development of girls grassroots football which has been a key goal for Football Australia since the announcement of the World Cup.
