Northern NSW Football is delighted to announce a new, formal partnership with the Newcastle Jets.
The partnership demonstrates NNSWF’s commitment to supporting the Newcastle Jets, the region’s only professional A-Leagues club, and will be largely focused on the Jets Academy and access to the Lake Macquarie Regional Football Facility.
NNSWF will help support the Newcastle Jets Academy by having a visible presence on the Academy playing and training kits as well as continued access to premier football facilities at LMRFF for training and matches.
NNSWF will have a presence at the Jets men’s and women’s A-League home matches through match day sponsorship, advertising signage and sponsorship of two NNSWF and Jets Academy products, Ben Van Dorssen and Claire Adams, who feature in the senior squads.
The partnership will also help NNSWF provide the football family with access to the club including Newcastle Jets players as well as match days through events hosted at home games. This includes providing opportunities for clubs to participate in half-time hero and mascot activations.
NNSWF has also become part of the Newcastle Jets affiliate membership program, which gives the football family across the region the opportunity to purchase memberships with a portion of the fee going back to NNSWF’s pathway and development programs.
Northern NSW Football CEO Peter Haynes was thrilled to announce the significant partnership.
“It’s an exciting new era for the Newcastle Jets with Maverick Sports Group becoming the club’s owners which makes this the perfect time for Northern NSW Football to formally partner with the club,” Haynes said.
“We acknowledge our responsibility to support the talented player pathway and help the club identify and develop local talent. We want to see more local talent like Will Dobson and Emma Dundas working their way through the pathway into playing professionally.
“This partnership highlights Northern NSW Football’s commitment to do everything within our power to help the Newcastle Jets be a successful and sustainable club on and off the pitch.”
Newcastle Jets Executive Director Maurice Bisetto was also delighted with the announcement.
“Northern NSW Football and the Newcastle Jets is the quintessential perfect partnership,” Bisetto said.
“As the peak body for football in the region, NNSWF are uniquely qualified to collaborate with the Jets as we both have an accountability for the development of male and female footballers.
“We are both passionate about football and footballers in the region and the closer we work together, the higher the likelihood of developing the next Socceroo or Matilda from the region.
“We look forward to strengthening and growing our relationship with NNSWF into the future.”
