World-renowned South Australian business Thomas Foods International will continue to support men’s and women’s football with a three-year extension locked in with the Crows.
The family-owned business, led by Managing Director Darren Thomas, joined the Club in 2016 as a Premier Partner and was quick to throw its support behind the inaugural AFLW side a year later.
The three-year extension ensures Thomas Foods International (TFI) will remain a premier partner of the Crows until at least the end of 2029.
From its Adelaide headquarters, the family-owned TFI has grown into one of Australia's largest food distributors, supplying premium Australian meat around the world via their well-recognised brands such as Thomas Farms and Angus Pure.
The partnership extension will ensure the continued support of the Club’s community programs and regional engagement.
The TFI logo will also remain on AFL and AFLW playing shorts.
Crows CEO Tim Silvers said the partnership extension reaffirmed the Club’s positive direction.
“To have a South Australian institution like TFI recommit to the Club for another three years speaks volumes of the strength of our relationship,” Silvers said.
“Their continued investment is a powerful endorsement of our strategic direction and ensures we can continue to provide elite environments for both our AFL and AFL players.
“We look forward to seeing the TFI name continue to sit proudly alongside the Adelaide Football Club brand.”
Thomas Foods International Managing Director Darren Thomas said he was proud to continue the longstanding affiliation.
“This year marks the tenth year of our formal partnership with the Adelaide Football Club, which is a significant milestone and one we are very proud to celebrate,” Thomas said.
“It speaks to the strength of the relationship we have built over time and makes this extension through to the end of 2029 especially meaningful.”
To celebrate the partnership extension, the Crows’ Round Six match against St Kilda was “Thomas Foods International Farmers Appreciation Match”, with 300 tickets supplied to rural farming networks to give back to the community.
