Zurich Financial Services Australia has extended its partnership with the Melbourne Football Club men’s and women’s Australian Football League teams for a further three seasons, to the end of the 2026 season.
The insurer says it has been Co-Principal Partner of MFC since 2018 and in 2020 also became Co-Principal Partner of the club’s women’s team.
Justin Delaney, Chief Executive Officer, Zurich Australia & New Zealand, says the company is proud to extend its partnership with the Melbourne Football Club “…following six successful years working closely together on a number of important initiatives.”
He says together the two organisations have “…driven several impactful community initiatives including the launch of ‘Goals for Good’ and support of charitable rounds to raise money for FightMND (motor neurone disease) and the Reach Foundation (youth mental health and wellbeing).”
…the partnership with the MFC provides a valuable platform for Zurich to connect with its customers, partners, employees and the broader Australian community…
Delaney notes the partnership with the Melbourne Football Club provides a valuable platform for Zurich to connect with its customers, partners, employees and the broader Australian community.
As part of the partnership, Zurich’s logo will continue to feature on the front of MFC’s men’s and back of the women’s match-day guernseys and team training apparel.
The insurer says the partnership with MFC underlines Zurich’s commitment to the AFL and follows the foundation in 2018 of ‘Tackle Your Feelings’, a free mental health education and awareness training program, by Zurich Insurance, the Z Zurich Foundation, the AFL Coaches Association and the AFL Players’ Association.
