Komatsu Australia has extended its partnership with the Western Sydney Wanderers women’s football club by a further two years.
Komatsu Australia and the Western Sydney Wanderers first partnered in 2021. The partnership has now been extended to 2026.
Through the partnership, Komatsu will retain its position on the right sleeve of the Wanderers Liberty A-Leagues home, away and third jerseys, as well as supporting several female-focused events run by the Wanderers in the Western Sydney community space.
Komatsu Australia chief executive officer (CEO) Sean Taylor said the company is excited to extend the partnership with a club it has a great working relationship with.
“Our partnership with the Wanderers represents more than just a name on the sleeve,” Taylor said.
“A big focus for us at Komatsu has always been furthering diversity and inclusion, both in the workplace and the industry, and this sponsorship is a way for us to align ourselves with a strong sporting brand that also supports a diverse and inclusive workplace, and allows us to shine a light on the diverse career opportunities available in mining and construction.
“Women’s sport, and football in particular, at the moment is receiving the recognition it deserves, thanks to the FIFA Women’s World Cup on our shores and the Matildas continuing to be a dominant force. We’re looking forward to supporting the sport through the partnership with the Wanderers Women’s team.”
Western Sydney Wanderers CEO Scott Hudson echoed similar sentiments.
“We are delighted to be continuing our fruitful relationship with Komatsu after a successful first two years,” Hudson said.
“Like the Wanderers, Komatsu, are based in Western Sydney and we look forward to working closely with them over the next two seasons to continue to support our Women’s programs.”
