Football Queensland has announced a major new partnership with BildGroup, a move expected to accelerate the upgrade of club facilities, changerooms, clubhouses and synthetic fields across the state. Building on the momentum of record infrastructure investment — and following BildGroup’s role as a Major Partner at the 2025 Queensland Football Convention in October – the alliance positions Queensland football for stronger long-term growth, improved standards, and better resources for clubs and communities.

Building for a successful future

With record levels of investment already secured, the alliance with BildGroup is another reflection of Football Queensland‘s commitment to providing its players and clubs with quality resources and facilities.

Furthermore, as the Official Infrastructure & Surfacing Partner, BildGroup will play a vital role in Football Queensland’s short and long-term future.

“We know that the improvement and upgrading of football facilities is crucial to supporting the ongoing growth of our game, and today’s announcement marks the beginning of a long-term collaboration with BildGroup designed to improve infrastructure planning and elevate facility standards statewide,” explained Football Queensland CEO, Robert Cavallucci.

“As an industry leader in construction, civil infrastructure and sporting surfaces with a commitment to innovation and improvement, BildGroup bring particular expertise in the construction of changerooms, club houses and synthetic fields through their specialist sports field construction business, TurfOne.”

Having already worked together at the 2025 Queensland Football Convention, at which BildGroup stood as a Major Partner, it is clear that both organisations enjoy a shared vision for the game.

A symbolic partnership

This is a collaboration founded on an essential principle: commitment to growth and development. It is not about building short-term or temporary improvements, but about laying the groundwork for a sustainable and exciting future for Football Queensland. .

“BildGroup is proud to partner with Football Queensland in a shared commitment to building strong foundations for the future of the game,” said BildGroup CEO, Stephen Hill.

“For us, this partnership is about more than infrastructure. It’s about supporting local communities and creating opportunities for players, volunteers and clubs to thrive.”

Although the team at BildGroup will be constructing high-quality facilities, leading specialised workshops and delivering online sessions, we must remember the importance of what we are witnessing.

With every blueprint approved, workshop delivered and surface installed, the partnership between BildGroup and Football Queensland will be a driving factor in football development statewide for years to come.

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.
