Growing International Partnerships
Football Australia’s International Partnerships business unit was established shortly after Australia’s hosting of the 2015 AFC Asian Cup, with a focus on developing stronger connections with counterpart organisations across Asia, the Middle East and the Pacific.
Since foundation, the business unit has worked extensively with Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs & Trade, football organisations, non-government organisations and community groups across now more than 50 countries, often leveraging Australian National Football Teams traveling through the region.
The business unit is responsible for international partnership development, tendering for and managing the business’ international programming, building the cross-cultural capability of Football Australia and Australia’s National Football Teams, immigration and human mobility matters, international logistics, and more.
