Help & support
We’re proud to be the largest supporter of football in Australia’s history.
We’ve been the naming rights partner of the Australian women’s national team, the CommBank Matildas, since 2021, and welcomed the Australian men’s national team, the CommBank Socceroos in 2025, as part of our ongoing commitment to Australian football.
The CommBank Mini Mates Program offers your club’s team the chance to enter children aged 6-10 into a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Each successful team will secure 11 positions on the CommBank Mini Mates Program, walking out onto the AFC Women’s Asian Cup Australia 2026™ pitch alongside some of the world’s greatest players.
To enter, share a 30 second video showing your child giving their most inspiring and motivating game-day speech to fire up the football players before they take the pitch at the AFC Women’s Asian Cup 2026™.
Videos should be uploaded to YouTube as ‘Unlisted’. You will need to include the link to this in your entry form. Please review instructions to do this (PDF)

Entries open 15/12/2025 at 12.01am (AEDT) and closes on 4/1/2026 at 11.59pm (AEDT).
Please note: children must be aged between 6-10 years at the time of the tournament and comply with any requirements of the Asian Football Confederation.
We’re proud to be the Official Regional Partner of the AFC Women’s Asian Cup 2026TM, to help bring the tournament to Australian shores.

We’re proud to support Football Australia’s Growing Football Fund.
Through a range of initiatives, this community fund is designed to support the coaches and players of tomorrow while also creating more opportunities for women and girls in football, including:
We know coaching is essential for the development and success of women and girls in football. The Coaches Hub will provide technical resources and training to help upskill and support coaches; networks to attract, retain and provide ongoing professional development opportunities; and scholarships to provide access to courses for coaches of women and girls.
To support community grassroots clubs in advancing the growth and development of women and girls in football, clubs and associations can apply for grants to support key initiatives. These initiatives could include participation or development opportunities for players, coaches and/or officials.
The next round of the Growing Football Community Grants will open in August 2025.
