AFL’s Fremantle secure extension with major sponsor

Fremantle Dockers, which compete in the Australian Football League, the top division of Aussie rules, have extended a sponsorship deal with staffing, maintenance and facility management firm Programmed until the end of the 2018 season.

Programmed will remain a co-major sponsor of the club alongside oil and gas company Woodside.

The Programmed logo will continue to appear on the back of players’ home jerseys, as well as on the front of the team’s away jersey.

Programmed first began its support of the club in 1995 as a corporate sponsor and has been a co-major sponsor for the past six years.

Chris Sutherland, managing director of Programmed, said: “With the extensive reach of the AFL, we have used this sponsorship to increase levels of customer and staff engagement across the country, and it made sense for us to continue this great partnership with the Fremantle Dockers.”

Fremantle currently sits fourth in the 2014 AFL Ladder.
