The governing body for netball in Australia, Netball Australia has developed a sponsorship agreement with a hotel brand, Oaks Hotels.
As part of the deal, the hotel firm has been named the official accommodation partner of the Suncorp Super Netball League and Netball Australia.
This development indicates the beginning of a collaboration between the two brands. Through this deal, Oaks Hotels will offer premier accommodation for Netball Australia and the Suncorp Super Netball competition.
Oaks Hotels is a hotel brand with approximately 60 hotels, the majority of which are in Australia and New Zealand, along with a few located in other nations as well. Offering tourists a home away from home, the company, which was formed in Australia in 1991, is a leader in the business of new-age residential-style lodging.
Netball Australia interim CEO Stacey West, said, “We welcome Oaks Hotels to Netball Australia and Suncorp Super Netball. We look forward to working with Oaks Hotels as netball’s new home away from home.”
Oaks Hotels, Resorts and Suites Head of Commercial Daniel Csortan, said, “From grassroots participation through to the elite level, netball holds a special place in Australian sports culture as our number one female team sport, with more than one million people regularly taking to the court to play. We see a natural alignment between the netball community and our guests – Australians who love to travel with family and friends and enjoy local events and experiences – and we are proud to support professional women’s sport in a meaningful way.
“We look forward to providing a home away from home for the players and team officials travelling to destinations where we have Oaks hotels, including Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth, the Sunshine Coast, and Sydney.”
Back in January, Netball Australia also forged a naming rights renewal deal with Origin Energy.
