Sydney Olympic Announce Major Sponsor for Women?s Teams

All of Olympic?s new female teams, from juniors right through to first grade, will sport the Nads logo. In a boost for women?s football across the board, the club will now include over 80 female footballers across five grades.
Olympic?s commitment to the women?s game was prompted by an unprecedented surge of female interest in the round ball code, a fact not lost on Marketing Manager Spiro Mavridis, who sees the club continuing its fine record of producing representative stars.
?For many decades Sydney Olympic hasn?t been in the women?s game and now we are, so we are attracting new people to the club,? he said.
?We?ve produced over 60 Socceroos and our job now is to produce Matildas. We?ve always developed players and we will put in strong measures to continue to develop women?s football.?
The club will participate in the Arrive Alive Women?s Super League for the first time in 2011, and new first grade coach Enzo Calabria was typically enthused.
?I am extremely excited to be the head coach of Sydney Olympic first grade that will participate in the Football NSW Super League,? he said.
?I am proud to be here and I can see it in the eyes of the girls that they are also overwhelmed by the opportunity that has been given to them to be part of Sydney Olympic FC.?
In recent years the club has endeavoured to create a family friendly, community-based environment with a view to broadening its appeal.  Amanda Matheson, Brand Manager at Nads Laser Clinic, sees the new relationship as a perfect fit.
?We?ve been really welcomed with open arms by the team here. I think it?s a nice fit in terms of the family and community appeal that these guys have and that?s something that our company is very big on as well,? she said.
The Arrive Alive Women?s Super League will kick off in March 2011, finally joined by one of Australia?s oldest and proudest clubs. Don?t be surprised if they make a big splash.
