TX Football has unveiled its 2026 kit range in collaboration with Corio Football Club, marking a partnership that combines tradition, performance, and a shared commitment to the grassroots game.

Built around Corio’s unmistakable green and white hoops, the new kit honours the club’s history while introducing a refined, modern design suited to the demands of contemporary football. The bold horizontal pattern symbolises unity and collective strength — a reflection of the players, volunteers, and supporters who form the backbone of the club.

Alongside the home strip, TX Football has also introduced Corio’s striking 2026 away kit. Built on a commanding deep red base, the design reflects pride, passion, and presence on the pitch. Sharp tonal pinstripes run vertically through the body of the jersey, creating a structured and confident silhouette that balances classic football aesthetics with a modern edge.

The range is engineered with elite-grade performance fabric, breathable airflow zones, and an athletic cut, the away kit is designed to support high-tempo football while maintaining comfort and durability across both match day and training environments. Worn proudly over the heart, the Corio crest remains a symbol of unity and heritage, while the TX mark across the chest highlights the strength of the partnership between Corio Soccer Club and TX Football.

Competitive Edge

The collaboration also reflects TX Football’s broader philosophy of precision, transparency, and quality within the football industry. The Australian brand prides itself on focusing on the technical details behind its products and maintaining full oversight of its manufacturing process. By controlling production from start to finish through its dedicated factory, TX Football ensures every piece of equipment meets strict quality standards developed through more than six decades of football manufacturing experience.

Corporate Social Responsibility Initiatives

Beyond performance, the partnership highlights shared values around responsibility and community impact. TX Football supports charitable initiatives through its work with the Reagan Milstein Foundation, donating $2 from every retail football sold to help promote access to the game and redistribute sports equipment to communities in need.

The company also maintains a strong commitment to ethical manufacturing practices, undertaking independent workplace and environmental audits while fostering a gender-diverse and inclusive workforce.

For Corio Soccer Club, the partnership represents more than a kit launch. It reflects a collaboration with a brand that understands the importance of quality, transparency, and supporting football at every level.

As players step onto the pitch in 2026, the jersey will serve as more than a uniform — it will be a symbol of Corio’s identity, pride, and the enduring strength of the community that stands behind it.

Northern NSW Football has opened registrations for Female Football Week 2026, inviting clubs, players, coaches, referees and administrators across the region to take part in a national celebration of women’s football running from Friday May 8 to Sunday May 17.

Now in its latest edition, Female Football Week provides a structured opportunity for the football community to acknowledge the contributions of women and girls to the game at every level, from grassroots volunteers to elite competitors. The week sits within a broader national context of record participation growth in women’s football following the AFC Women’s Asian Cup, with northern NSW among the regions experiencing some of the most significant increases in female registrations over recent seasons.

The first 40 clubs to register will receive a club activation pack. Registered clubs will also receive promotional support through the NNSWF website and access to Female Football Week advertising collateral, with activities ranging from panel discussions and workshops to social media campaigns highlighting female participants within their communities.

Award nominations are also open across six categories, Player of the Year, Coach of the Year, Referee of the Year, Volunteer of the Year, Community Champion of the Year and Club of the Year, recognising individuals and clubs making significant contributions to women and girls’ football in northern NSW over the past twelve months.

“Female Football Week is a fantastic chance to highlight the passion and talent of female players, coaches, referees and volunteers across the northern NSW community,” said NNSWF Participation and Women’s Football Officer Serena Carter. “There’s something for everyone with activities and events catering to all levels, from grassroots through to elite competition.”

Stop Complaining, Start Building: Why Proactive Clubs Always Win

It’s a tale as old as time in grassroots sport: your club is stuck in a “time warp” facility, sharing a severely overused pitch with another code, while a club a few suburbs over just scored millions of dollars in council funding.

It is incredibly frustrating. The disparity in local government funding, the draconian facility-sharing arrangements, and the feeling that your sport is constantly fighting an uphill battle in certain heartlands can make committee members want to throw their hands in the air.

But when faced with this reality, your club has a choice. You can go on a rampage of advocacy – bitching, moaning, and focusing on everything the council or state sporting body isn’t doing – or, you can focus on what you can control.

The Post-COVID Divide

Think back to the clubs that emerged from the COVID-19 lockdowns. During that time, every club faced the exact same external restriction: nobody could play.

However, two distinct types of clubs emerged.

The first type went dark. They complained about the government, complained about the lack of support from their Peak Bodies, and disconnected from their members. They took years to recover.

The second type of club stayed connected. They acknowledged the reality but focused entirely on what they could do. They posted backyard drills on TikTok, sent training plans to parents, and kept their community engaged. As soon as restrictions lifted, they were on the front foot, miles ahead of the competition. Same environment, entirely different mindset.

The Circle of Control

In business and in sport, there is a circle of concern (things you care about but can’t change) and a much smaller circle of control (your own thoughts, behaviours, and operations).

If you have signed a 10-year lease on a substandard facility, that is your playing field. You aren’t going to change it tomorrow. So, how can you win given the rules you have?

·  Run a tight ship financially.

·  Pay your rent on time.

·  Communicate brilliantly with your members.

·  Streamline your governance.

Government likes to back a winner. If you spend your time spinning up the flywheels of good marketing, membership growth, and volunteer connection, you build a small business that clearly has its act together. When it comes time to advocate for better facilities, you aren’t just a complaining club—you are a highly successful, proactive community asset that councils will want to support.

Is your club stuck in a cycle of complaining? It’s time to take control of what you can. Contact CPR Group today to find out how our clubMENTOR program and strategic planning services can put your club on the front foot.
