Adelaide United has agreed to continue its collaboration with major South Australian line haul provider, TML Transport, for the upcoming season.

Based in Two Wells, North of Adelaide, TML Transport has worked with clients all across Australia providing a wide range of trucking linehaul services, with a focus on making freight easy and efficient.

The linehaul specialist offers various combinations, from single trailers to B-triple and road train configurations.

With this renewed agreement, TML Transport’s logo will once again be featured on the front of the shorts by Adelaide United in all A-League matches throughout the season.

Fabrizio Petrone, Head of Commercial at Adelaide United, was excited about continuing the partnership with TML Transport:

“We’re thrilled to continue our partnership with TML as we embark on an exciting new season,” he said in a media release on Adelaide United’s website.

“Their commitment to excellence and shared values make them an ideal partner for us and we are delighted to have them on board again.”

Lewis Magro, Owner of TML Transport, spoke about how proud he was to continue working with the Reds:

“We’re really excited to carry on our association with Adelaide United for the 2024/25 season,” he said in a media release on Adelaide United’s website.

“As a proudly South Australian-owned and operated company with a national reach, TML Transport is a perfect match for the club. We’re eager to continue working together and supporting Adelaide United’s ongoing success.”

The Reds debuted their new kit in a friendly against West Adelaide which pays homage to Adelaide’s iconic title as the ‘City of Churches.’

The new shirt features a sublimated design inspired by one of Adelaide’s famous landmarks, St. Peter’s Cathedral.

It also shows the Champions Star over the badge reminding fans of the club’s first championship they won in 2016, as well as a nod to the state’s nickname “City of Churches” placed on the bottom left of the shirt.

After this agreement, the club are truly embracing the City of Adelaide by supporting local businesses in the area, as well as through the design of their new kit for the upcoming A-League season.

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.

Marie-Louise Eta makes history as new Union Berlin head coach

In an historic appointment, Eta will take over as head coach of Union Berlin until the end of the season.

History in the making

Previously the first female assistant coach in Bundesliga history with Union Berlin, Eta will now take the reigns of the men’s first team on an interim basis.

Currently, the club sit in 11th place in the Bundesliga table, but with only two wins so far in 2026, relegation appears an all-too-real prospect, and one which the club is desperate to avoid.

“Given the points gap in the lower half of the table, our place in the Bundesliga is not yet secure,” said Eta via official media release.

‘I am delighted that the club has entrusted me with this challenging task. One of Union’s strengths has always been, and remains, the ability to pull together in such situations.”

Eta will begin as Union’s new head coach with immediate effect, and will be in the dugout for the club’s matchup against Wolfsburg this weekend.

 

A step into an equal future

Eta’s appointment signals a major step towards a more level playing field in the football landscape.

Furthermore, Eta joins other coaches including Sabrinna Wittmann, Hannah Dingley and Corinne Diacre who, in recent years, have blazed a trail for female coaches to step into the men’s game.

Wittmann currently manages FC Ingolstadt in Germany’s third division, and was the first female head coach in Germany’s top three divisions.

In 2023, Dingley became caretaker manager of Forest Green Rovers, and thus the first woman to lead a men’s professional team in England.

Diacre, now head coach of France’s women’s national team, managed Ligue 2’s Clerment Foot between 2014 and 2017.

 

Final thoughts

The impact therefore, is that Eta’s appointment will show future generations of aspiring female coaches that men’s football is an equally viable and possible pathway as the women’s game.

The time is now to level the playing field.

And while it may be a short-term role, its effect on attitudes towards equality and fair opportunities in the game will hopefully resonate long after the season ends.
