Melbourne Avalon Airport commits to Werribee Football Club until 2027

16 December 2024

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.”
