St Kilda Football Club is thrilled to announce that long-term partner Opal has extended its commitment as Co-Major Partner of the Saints’ AFLW program until the end of the 2027 season.
A foundation sponsor of St Kilda’s AFLW team, Opal has stood alongside the club since the very first bounce, establishing its partnership during the Saints’ time in the Victorian Women's Football League and proudly supporting the club’s transition into the AFLW. Their continued backing demonstrates unwavering commitment to women’s sport and the Saints’ journey on and off the field.
“We’re thrilled to have such an established partner in Opal continue their support of our AFLW program,” St Kilda CEO Carl Dilena said.
“Their belief in our club and playing group has played a pivotal role in the development of women’s football at St Kilda and is an incredible endorsement of our program and the direction we’re heading as a club.
“The shared values of innovation, teamwork and community are what make this partnership so powerful.”
Opal Group General Manager Packaging, Strategic Sales & Business Development Shaun Thomas echoed Dilena’s sentiments.
“We’re delighted to be extending our partnership with the Saints AFLW program,” Thomas said.
“Together we’ll continue to elevate important conversations that make a real impact, on the field and beyond.”
Opal’s branding will continue to feature prominently across the team’s playing guernseys, training apparel, media polos and outerwear, a tangible symbol of the partnership’s strength and loyalty.
