Ampol has signed a three-year partnership with the AFL’s Carlton Football Club as a platinum partner.
The new partnership will see Ampol feature on the top back of the team’s guernsey until at least the end of 2026.
Aligning with both the AFL and AFLW programs at IKON Park, Ampol has come on board as Carlton’s AFLW coaches partner for the next three years, too, and will also join the Carlton IN Business network.
Ampol Managing Director and CEO Matthew Halliday says the partnership is a testament to Ampol’s continued connection to community through sport.
“We’re proud to partner with an iconic club such as Carlton for the 2024 AFL season and beyond,” he says.
“Ampol has a long history of supporting initiatives that bring communities together, and nothing brings people together quite like sport and the love of their footy team.
“There’s a natural fit between the two organisations. While we’re steeped in history and are both recognised brands in Australia’s societal fabric, we also have an eye on the future to ensure we continue to deliver for our customers and fans.”
Carlton Football Club CEO Brian Cook says the partnership of two long-standing Australian organisations provides real synergy.
“We’re pleased to have an Australian-owned organisation in Ampol show its support and investment in the club,” he says.
“Ampol has a key role to play in the ongoing energy transition and we’re excited to have its support extend across both our AFL and AFLW team for the next three seasons.
“We appreciate that Ampol has shown a commitment to the Carlton Football Club in its entirety, investing in the wide range of programs across the football club.”
