Allianz has signed up as the official insurance partner of Football Australia and its national teams.

The insurer’s branding will be on the back of training and off-field apparel for teams including the Socceroos, Matildas, Pararoos and ParaMatildas, and the deal involves continued support for the nation’s youth teams.

Allianz Australia MD Richard Feledy says the partnership is a “natural fit” given the insurer’s commitments to soccer worldwide, including several stadium naming sponsorships. 

“We are thrilled to announce our partnership with Football Australia, further highlighting our global commitment to sport and the incredible value it brings to the communities in which we operate,” he said. 

“We believe sport promotes diversity, supports mental and physical health, and fosters a sense of unity and belonging.

“Through this partnership with Football Australia, we hope to inspire future generations of footballers.” 

Football Australia CEO James Johnson says the deal “will not only provide crucial support for our national teams but also inspire the next generation of Australian talent”.
