SPONSORSHIP
Back the Blacks in 2023!SPONSORSHIP
Back the Blacks in 2022!All sponsors naturally join in the joy – the priceless gift – of enabling young men and women to become the best they can be, both in football and in life.
CORPORATE SPONSORSHIP
Our ‘reach’ is unparalleled – literally global.
We can tailor a corporate package to suit any potential sponsor.
You don’t have to have played for the Blacks to sponsor us – the benefits of sponsorship apply to all.
What We Do Best
The AUFC has a long and proud history, with over 100 years on the field
We are highly Successful
The Blacks have an unsurpassed record in Australian amateur football history. 105 flags (including 28 in Division 1) are a testament to that.
We promote Diversity
We are a proud part of the Adelaide University sporting community, however, membership is not confined to those studying at the UOA. All are eligible and all are welcome!
We are a Community
We find that those who come to the club inevitably stay: the world’s greatest football club does tend to provide a rather compelling environment. It is a place where you make friends for life.
We are committed to the fine principles of University Sport
In particular our Constitution demands that we play for no remuneration other than the joy that comes with playing for the love of the game. Everybody at the Blacks is treated equally.’
We like the Social Life
“If winning is all there is, we want no part of it”, a phrase famously coined by AUFC living legend, Chocka Bloch. Chocka once also described the footy club as “a social club loosely based around football”.
With these ideologies in mind, sponsorship is being sought for the AUFC…
The AUFC recognises that sponsorship is a relationship between two parties in which there is an exchange of benefits (whether corporate or otherwise).
As such, the AUFC is committed to forming partnerships with organisations and brands that embody similar values. The AUFC is a proven vehicle through which our sponsors can achieve the following objectives:
Targeted Branding
Engage in targeted branding, sampling and sales activities.
Brand Awareness
Enhance brand awareness accross a range of age brackets.
Brand Advocacy
Encourage brand advocacy and influence buying decisions via positive exposure to the brand.
