Melbourne Avalon Airport commits to Werribee Football Club until 2027

The Werribee Football Club is proud to confirm our long-standing partnership with Melbourne Avalon Airport will continue until at least the end of 2027.

Having recently become known as Melbourne Avalon Airport, the facility offers travellers a convenient and time-efficient service through pocket-friendly airfares. As its slogan says, it’s flying made easy.

With significant growth over the past decade, the airport has become the first choice destination for many local Geelong and Wyndham residents, for both domestic and international travel.

Having commenced its support of the club in 2011, Werribee’s traditional Chirnside Park home has since become known as Avalon Airport Oval.

This recent rebrand means the venue will be known as Melbourne Avalon Airport Oval from 2025.

Werribee FC CEO Mark Penaluna says “Melbourne Avalon Airport continue to be a wonderful partner of the Werribee Football Club.”

“It’s always been clear to us that both our club and the airport are very much aligned in terms of being at the forefront of the local community and nurturing excellence in all areas of our organisations.”

“We can’t thank Ari and the rest of the Melbourne Avalon Airport team enough for their ongoing support of the club, and we’re excited to be able to continue the success of our partnership.”

Ari Suss, Acting CEO of Melbourne Avalon Airport, is thrilled to continue the partnership.

“This collaboration reflects our shared commitment to supporting local communities, nurturing talent, and fostering growth in the region,” he says.

“We are invested in the success of the region and we are proud to contribute to the Werribee Tigers’ success. Together, we are building a lasting legacy of excellence both on and off the field.”

They’re Going Again: Jimmy Allan and Ash Collins Extend to 2026.  

‘It is a fitting end to an incredible season for the club” those words summed up President Martin Carter’s feelings in announcing that senior coach Jimmy Allan and Football Manager Ash Collins have signed till the end of the 2026 season.

‘Everyone at the club has celebrated the premiership success and rightly so, but now it is time to look ahead and we have the two best football people secured. I hope supporters will become members, members will re-sign early and the community joins us to share in this very exciting time for the club”

Training and planning for the 2025 season is well under way for both Allan and Collins along with the finalisation of the playing list and changes to staff. Allan is very pleased with how things are developing. 

“The premiership changed where we are as a club in many ways but internally it has not changed our values, work ethic and commitment. For Ash and I having the stability of this long-term commitment allows us to focus on our core objectives for the club. We are grateful that the Board has seen fit to extend our time and we’re excited about the opportunity to continue to play our part in leading the club forward. The 2024 premiership is now part of the club’s rich history. Let’s move onto the next chapter.’

Upcoming Christmas and New Year Office Closure

The Werribee Football Club would like to inform all members, supporters, sponsors and other stakeholders of the upcoming office closure for the festive holiday period.

The Club’s office – as well as the Chirnsides By The River function space – will be closed from 12pm on Thursday 19th December 2024 and reopening  at 9am on Monday 13th January 2025.

2024 will rightfully be remembered by all involved for the drought-breaking Premiership success. It was only fitting that everyone connected to the club – past and present – was able to share in the joy of that famous victory at IKON Park in September. We know those memories will live with us forever.

The club has also continued to be a beacon of personal and professional development, both on the field and off the field. The ongoing dedication and contribution by everyone involved with the Club is both valued and appreciated. It all contributes to ensuring our club stands above others in the VFL competition.

We hope that the upcoming festive season will serve as a wonderful opportunity to reflect and refresh; as well as spend valuable and precious time with loved ones.

We wish you a Merry Christmas and a safe and prosperous New Year.

….and come 2025, we’re going again – are you? Sign up to your Werribee Football Club membership today via INTIX.
