The Newcastle Jets confirmed PMP Mining will be returning as a club partner ahead of the 2025/2026 Ninja A-League Season.

The Women’s team will have PMP Mining branding on the front of their playing shorts this season as a part of the agreement.

Pacific Mining Parts (PMP Group) is a mining and manufacturing company founded in 2016 who work with companies in the resource and energy industry to construct supply chains, asset management, and engineering solutions like the abrasion-resistant steel.

With trusted partnerships and multicultural teams around the world, the company is driven to create value through sustainability, innovation, and cost-effective services spanning consulting, advanced technologies in the industry, and custom supply chains design designed to help clients improve operations.

The two organisations united last year was established from the cohesion of mining partners in the Hunter Valley and the region’s sporting scene, especially women’s sport, mentioned in a LinkedIn post by PMP Group.

CEO & Director of PMP Group, Duncan Scott reflected the shared of teamwork, innovation, and community.

“At PMP Group, we believe in building strong, resilient communities—just as we do with supply chains,” he said via press release.

“Partnering with the Newcastle Jets is a natural extension of our values: teamwork, innovation, and sustainability.

“We’re proud to support a club that embodies the same spirit of excellence and resilience that drives our work every day. This partnership goes beyond visibility— it’s about investing in the future of our community.”

This deal underscores the alignment between PMP Mining’s operational ethos and the Newcastle Jets’ community-focused initiatives, aiming to foster a stronger, more resilient local community.

This collaboration sets a benchmark for how businesses can partner with sporting clubs not just for visibility, but to genuinely contribute to the social and economic wellbeing of the regions they operate in, inspiring fans and stakeholders alike.

The Melbourne-based anf family-owned business will join the Victory family, uniting two institutions which represent the city’s culture and identity.

A partnership with local roots

As the newest partner of Melbourne Victory, Roasting Warehouse joins forces with a vital part of the city’s sporting landscape.

The club’s Managing Director, Caroline Carnegie, outlined why the partnership bears so much value to both parties.

“We are excited to collaborate with Roasting Warehouse, a community-oriented destination for high-quality coffee, proud of its foundations in Melbourne,” said Carnegie via official media release.

“Football and coffee sit at the epicentre of Melbourne’s culture. The two go hand-in-hand, consistently at the centre of the conversation that stirs Melburnians, which is no different to the conversation sport and Melbourne Victory stir in the State.”

Indeed, this is a partnership which combines the identity, passions and culture of an entire city, therefore giving it the foundations required for long-term, mutual success.

Representing the best of Melbourne

Both Victory and Roasting Warehouse are hugely successful in their respective industries. They are institutions with community-oriented philosphies, who pride themselves on craft and quality.

“We’re incredibly proud to partner with Melbourne Victory, a club that represents the heart, passion, and ambition of Melbourne,” revealed Roasting Warehouse Head of Brand, Alexander Paraskevopoulos.

“As a Melbourne-founded, family-run business, supporting a team that means so much to the local community feels very natural for us.”

Furthermore, through their high-quality blends, Roasting Warehouse will look to prepare Victory’s players and staff for high performances on the pitch as the seasons nears completion.

But this is about far more than just fueling athletes.

This is a partnership which embodies and unites two of Melbourne’s greatest strengths and cultural markers – a connection forged from the city’s very own DNA.

Football NSW supports Female Coaches CPD as Women’s Football Surges

Football NSW has used the platform of the AFC Women’s Asian Cup to deliver a targeted professional development workshop for female coaches, bringing together scholarship recipients for an evening of structured learning and direct engagement with elite women’s football.

Held at ACPE last month, the session was open to female coaches who received C or B Diploma scholarships through Football NSW in 2025. Coaching accreditation carries a financial cost that disproportionately affects women, who are less likely to have their development subsidised by clubs or associations operating in underfunded community football environments. Scholarship access changes that equation at the point where many women exit the pathway.

Facilitated by Football NSW Coach Development Coordinator Bronwyn Kiceec, the workshop focused on goal scoring trends from the tournament’s group stage, with coaches analysing attacking patterns and exploring how those insights could translate into their own environments. The group then attended the quarter-final between South Korea and Uzbekistan at Stadium Australia.

The structure of the evening mattered as much as its content. Female coaches in community football rarely have access to elite competition environments as a professional resource. The gap between the level at which most women coach and the level at which the game is analysed and discussed tends to reinforce itself. Placing scholarship recipients inside a major tournament, as participants rather than spectators, closes that gap in a way that a classroom session cannot.

Female coaches remain significantly underrepresented across all levels of the game in Australia. The pipeline that will change that depends not only on accreditation access but on the professional networks, peer relationships and exposure to elite environments that male coaches have historically taken for granted.

The workshop forms part of Football NSW’s ongoing commitment to developing female coaches through scholarships and structured learning opportunities.
