Commonwealth Bank has become the largest supporter of football in Australia’s history, securing the naming rights to the Socceroos and expanding its long-standing partnership with Football Australia across all levels of the game.
The six-year extension sees CommBank deepen its investment in Australia’s most-played team sport, adding to its current sponsorship of the CommBank Matildas, ParaMatildas and Pararoos.
From 1 September 2025, CommBank will take over as official naming rights partner for the Socceroos, the Olyroos, and a full range of national youth teams, including the Young Socceroos and the Joeys.
The partnership will also encompass the Emerging Matildas and Emerging Socceroos Championships, designed to strengthen Australia’s elite youth development and talent pipeline.

“With the Socceroos facing the upcoming FIFA World Cup 2026™, and the CommBank Matildas preparing for the Australian-hosted AFC Women’s Asia Cup™, there has never been a more exciting time to be a fan of football in Australia,” said CommBank CEO, Matt Comyn.
“When we partnered with Football Australia as naming rights sponsors of the CommBank Matildas, they were about to embark on a history making international campaign, and what an incredible amount they’ve achieved for Australian football and women’s sport since 2021.
“This six-year extension, combined with our previous four years, will result in a 10-year partnership. We hope this long-term commitment will help drive positive and lasting change for the game, players and communities.”
The deal builds on the success of CommBank’s existing support of women’s football. Since the original partnership began in 2021:
Football Australia interim CEO Heather Garriock called it “more than a sponsorship agreement”
“It is a values-aligned business partnership through which we will innovate and support each other in many ways – with a core aim of improving the lives of Australians through the world game right across the country. We look forward to embarking on this next step in our journey together,” she said.
The announcement comes as the Socceroos prepare for the FIFA World Cup 2026™ and the Matildas gear up to host the AFC Women’s Asia Cup™.
