Perth, Western Australia, 27 August 2024: DP World is proud to announce its elevation from Platinum Partner to Premier Partner of the Fremantle Football Club, a move that underscores the deepening relationship between the Fremantle Dockers and global logistics provider.

This strategic partnership extension, now running through to the end of 2026, further solidifies DP World’s position as a cornerstone partner for both the Fremantle AFL and AFLW teams. As a leader in end-to-end supply chain logistics with a global network spanning more than 350 business units across 75 countries, DP World’s longstanding presence at Fremantle Port plays a critical role in supporting the Australian economy.

DP World’s commitment to innovation and sustainability aligns with Fremantle Dockers' values, and this partnership continues to reflect our shared vision. DP World’s branding will continue to feature prominently on both AFLW and AFL shorts, with additional exposure on the top back of the guernsey for the women’s team in 2024 and the men’s team in 2025.

Simon Garlick, CEO, Fremantle Football Club, said: “DP World has been a pivotal part of our journey in recent years, and we are thrilled to elevate them to Premier Partner status. Their commitment to innovation and community mirrors our own, and together, we aim to push the boundaries of what is possible, both on and off the field. This partnership is a testament to our shared dedication to creating meaningful connections and fostering an inclusive environment for all our fans.”

Glen Hilton, CEO & Managing Director, Asia Pacific, DP World, said: “Becoming the Premier Partner of the Fremantle Dockers marks an exciting new chapter in our collaboration, one that will drive innovation and bring about positive change within the communities we serve. We are proud that the Fremantle Dockers share our vision for community engagement and innovation.”

DP World’s partnership with Fremantle is not merely about brand visibility; it is about shared values and a mutual commitment to enriching communities and driving innovation. The ‘Docker Spirit’—embodying hard work, resilience, and community connection—perfectly aligns with DP World's ethos of ‘Change What’s Possible.’

In support of Fremantle’s ongoing community efforts, DP World will contribute to the installation of a unique shipping container at Fremantle’s training base at Cockburn. This container will provide shelter and enhance the fan experience until the completion of the Club’s current expansion project. After its use at the training base, the shipping container will be repurposed for community initiatives, ensuring it continues to benefit Fremantle fans long into the future.

Nicolaj Noes, Executive Vice President for Oceania, DP World, said: “We’re proud to support initiatives that embody the ‘Docker Spirit,’ creating lasting positive impacts for the Fremantle community and reinforcing our commitment to making a difference where it matters most. This is the first of several exciting initiatives we have planned with the Fremantle team to help grow the game within Western Australia.”

Both DP World and Fremantle Football Club are deeply committed to community enrichment, and this extended partnership promises to bring further innovation, success, and positive change to the Fremantle community and beyond.
