Optus says Yes to new era of WAFL

West Australian Football League partner, Optus, has boosted its support for WA’s premier State League competition, adding League naming rights, volunteers, and the new WAFL Women’s competition to their partnership for 2019.

WAFC CEO Gavin Taylor thanked Optus for their continued commitment to WA Football following the success of the inaugural year of the partnership in 2018.

“We are thrilled to have such a high-quality partner extending their support of the WAFL competition to naming rights, WAFL Women, and one of the game’s most valuable assets – our volunteers,” he said.

“We saw the benefits the Optus partnership delivered in 2018 with ‘The Reubens’ performing live at the WAFL Grand Final at Optus Stadium and look forward to working together on more great initiatives in 2019 such as the Optus Club Hero program to recognise our volunteers.”

The new partnership will see this year’s men’s and women’s State League competitions referred to as the 2019 Optus WAFL Premiership Season and 2019 Optus WAFLW Premiership Season.

Optus Head of Marketing Melissa Hopkins said Optus was looking forward to broadening its partnership with the WAFL in 2019 after seeing the competition go from strength to strength with the addition of the West Coast Eagles WAFL team and a Women’s competition.
