Football Tasmania has welcomed McDonald’s Australia (McDonald’s) to the team as its newest major sponsor for 2022, with the partnership set to deliver new opportunities for Tasmanians at all levels of the game.
McDonald’s will take on naming rights for the National Premier Leagues Tasmania (NPL) statewide men’s competition and support the men’s, women’s and under-19 statewide cup competitions.
The partnership will also help boost the development of the next generation of Tasmanian football stars, with McDonald’s sponsoring the state youth representative teams, Skills Acquisition Phase (SAP) Festivals, junior tournaments and youth competitions.
Football Tasmania CEO Matt Bulkeley said the partnership with McDonald’s will help take Tasmanian football to the next level.
“Football is already enjoyed by more Tasmanians than any other team sport. We’re delighted to partner with McDonalds to promote the World Game and help even more Tasmanians develop a love for football,” Mr Bulkeley said.
“By sponsoring football at all levels, from junior cups and state teams, right up to statewide cups and the NPL, McDonalds will play a big role in seeing Tasmanian football continue to grow in both participation and the benefit it brings to the community.”
Brad McMullen, McDonald’s Australia Market Director, Southern Region, said “McDonald’s has a long and proud history of getting behind Aussie sport and we can’t wait to join the team in 2022.
“This is an exciting opportunity to provide much-needed support for the training and development of our local players and encourage all Tasmanians to give football a go.”
