Sunshine Coast’s oldest & largest football club
Wanderers Football Club, comprised of the Buderim Wanderers in the local league and Sunshine Coast Wanderers in the National Premier League, is the oldest and largest club in the region. Formed in 1972, it draws players and their respective families from across the entire Sunshine Coast.
The club’s proud history is steeped in success. Over the course of the last 50+ years, the club has won numerous premierships and championships across all divisions and age groups. Additional accolades include being voted Sunshine Coast Champion Club of the Year for several years in succession.
With that said, the Wanderers are eager for further success. We are seeking to establish a select portfolio of like-minded corporate partners to realise this goal and further the development of our players.
Importantly, we are committed to ensuring this is a mutually rewarding association. We have developed a number of assets corporate partners can leverage to promote their business.
Corporate Partnership?
There’s a reason why we’re particularly committed to the term corporate ‘partner’ as opposed to ‘Sponsor’. Partnerships are mutually beneficial relationships. Seeking corporate partners is not solely about satisfying our needs as a club — it’s also about meeting the needs of your business. To that end, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, we are prepared to tailor each corporate package to suit the needs of the interested party, utilising our promotional assets that best align with their objectives. Corporate partners packages can include some or all of the following promotional assets in accordance with the level of commitment.
PROMOTIONAL ASSETS
In accordance with Football Queensland guidelines, there are a limited number of positions reserved for corporate partner logos on kits. Select areas where corporate partner logos are permitted have been highlighted in white.

Magazine
IN WHAT IS A FIRST FOR THE SUNSHINE COAST, WE RECENTLY LAUNCHED OUR VERY OWN WANDERERS FOOTBALL MAGAZINE, AVAILABLE IN BOTH PRINT AND DIGITAL FORMAT, WITH FOUR ISSUES RELEASED ANNUALLY.
Wanderers Football has been carefully constructed to provide plenty of in-depth reads with stories from the local area, Australia, and abroad, along with coach insights and player profiles, not to mention a guaranteed three-month shelf life thanks to season fixtures across all 54 teams. Yes, you read that correctly — this is a huge club with a very dedicated and passionate supporter base. There are close to 1,000 players at the club, not to mention parents, grandparents, supporters, and affiliate businesses. This magazine presents an incredibly unique opportunity to tap into our very dedicated and passionate member base.
Certain editorial opportunities are reserved for corporate partners, with ample opportunity to advertise and showcase your business throughout the year.
Website
Our club website is central to all communication with players and members. It not only provides an overview of the club, our programs, and history, but also showcases game day imagery, scheduled Football Queensland fixtures, senior teams, and general club updates.
Corporate partner logos are displayed within the dedicated partners section, each linked directly to your business. In addition, banner advertisements on the home page are available on rotation for a 12-month period, providing consistent visibility across the season.
Social Media
Social media has become an essential communication tool for community clubs. It is the most timely, convenient, and accessible way to connect with players, parents, and members.
We actively promote our corporate partners across our social media platforms through co-branded posts and mentions, helping showcase your business to our engaged and growing audience. Each partnership includes 12 dedicated social media promotions per year, ensuring consistent visibility and ongoing exposure throughout the season.
NEWSLETTER
Digital newsletters/EDMs are sent monthly to all players, parents, and members.
Corporate partners have the opportunity to feature within the newsletter through dedicated banner placements. With one corporate partner featured per newsletter, this provides a clear and focused opportunity to stand out. Each partnership includes 2 newsletter advertisements per year, ensuring targeted exposure to our engaged club community.
SIGNAGE
Opportunities exist for corporate partners to showcase their brand across key assets throughout the club, including high-visibility areas within the grounds and clubhouse. These include, but are not limited to, fence signage, LCD screens, and inflatables.
Partnership inclusions feature your promotional message or corporate logo displayed prominently at the venue, including 4 printed field signs (2m x 1m) positioned for strong exposure on game days and throughout the season.

The club will soon launch a range of merchandise for supporters to purchase. Platinum Corporate Partners will be given the opportunity to be featured on our club merchandise.
