Sydney FC has welcomed Commonwealth Bank (CBA) into the Sky Blue family with the large bank becoming the Official Banking Sponsor of Sydney FC’s Summer Holiday Clinics for 2026, as well as an Official Sponsor of Sky Blue Pathways.
The sponsorship will see CBA play a key role in supporting grassroots football participation and player development across Sydney FC’s community programs, reinforcing a shared commitment to engaging young people and families through sport.
As part of the agreement, CBA will be prominently aligned with Sydney FC’s popular Summer Holiday Clinics at Macquarie Park, delivered across three sessions in January 2026, providing young footballers with access to high-quality coaching in a fun and inclusive environment.
The sponsorship will also extend across Sky Blue Pathways, Sydney FC’s development framework that supports players at all stages of their football journey, from community participation through to elite pathways.
Sydney FC General Manager, Business Operations Howard Fondyke welcomed Commonwealth Bank to the Sky Blue family.
“We’re delighted to welcome Commonwealth Bank as an Official Sponsor of Sydney FC and to have them supporting both our Summer Holiday Clinics and Sky Blue Pathways,” Fondyke said.
“This sponsorship is about more than branding – it’s about supporting participation, development and positive experiences for young players and their families.
“We’re really looking forward to working closely with CBA to deliver meaningful outcomes across our Pathway programs.”
Through the sponsorship, CBA will receive branding and activation opportunities across Sydney FC’s Summer Holiday Clinics and Sky Blue Pathways platforms, including digital communications, on-site presence at clinics and visibility across Sydney FC’s development ecosystem.
CBA’s Effie Trahanas said: “As an Executive Director of Lending at CBA, I’m proud that our sponsorship of Sydney FC’s holiday clinics reflects our commitment to supporting local communities and empowering young Australians through inclusive, high-quality sporting opportunities to thrive both on and off the field.”
Sydney FC’s Summer Holiday Clinics will take place at Macquarie Park between 6–8th, the 12-14th and the 19-21st of January 2026, continuing the Club’s commitment to delivering engaging, high-quality football experiences during the school holiday period.
