Fremantle Football Club is thrilled to announce the elevation of DP World from Platinum Partner to Premier Partner status, marking a significant milestone in the Club’s ongoing partnership with the global smart logistics provider.
This elevation extends DP World's current partnership for an additional year until the end of 2026, supporting both Fremantle Football Club’s AFL and AFLW teams and further cementing their role as a cornerstone partner within the Freo family.
DP World is a leader in smart, end-to-end supply chain logistics, with a global network spanning more than 350 business units across 75 countries. DP World has a longstanding presence at Fremantle Port, where their innovative logistics solutions play a crucial role in facilitating trade and supporting the local Australian economy.
DP World’s presence in Fremantle, alongside their commitment to innovation and sustainability, makes them a natural fit with the Fremantle Dockers.
As part of this enhanced partnership, DP World will continue to feature prominently on both the AFLW and AFL shorts, with the addition of the top back of guernsey logo for women’s in 2024 and men’s in 2025.
Simon Garlick, CEO, Fremantle Dockers, believes this partnership is not just about logos on guernseys; it’s about shared values and a mutual vision for enriching our communities and driving innovation.
“DP World has been a pivotal part of our journey in recent years, and we are thrilled to elevate them to Premier Partner status,” Garlick said.
“Their commitment to innovation and community mirrors our own, and together, we aim to push the boundaries of what is possible, both on and off the field.
“This partnership is a testament to our shared dedication to creating meaningful connections and fostering an inclusive environment for all our fans.”
Both Fremantle Football Club and DP World are deeply committed to community enrichment.
The ‘Docker Spirit’, which embodies hard work, resilience, and connection to the community, is perfectly aligned with DP World's ethos of 'Change What’s Possible.'
Glen Hilton, CEO & Managing Director, Asia Pacific, DP World, aims to inspire and create lasting impacts within the communities served by both Freo and DP World.
“Becoming the Premier Partner of the Fremantle Dockers is an exciting step forward which cements our strong relationship and we are proud that they share our vision for community engagement and innovation,” Hilton said.
“Our joint efforts will not only enhance the experience for fans but also bring about positive change in the communities we serve.”
Additionally, DP World will support the installation of a unique shipping container at Fremantle’s training base at Cockburn to provide shelter and enhance fan experience until the completion of the Club’s current expansion project.
After its use at the training base, the shipping container will be repurposed for community initiatives, ensuring it continues to benefit Fremantle fans long into the future.
Nicolaj Noes, Executive Vice President for Oceania, DP World said it’s an initiative DP World is proud to be part of.
"We’re proud to support initiatives that embody the 'Docker Spirit’, creating lasting positive impacts for the Fremantle community and reinforcing our commitment to making a difference where it matters most," Noes said.
"This is the first of a number of exciting initiatives planned over the coming months and we’re looking forward to continuing to work with the Fremantle team to help grow the game within Western Australia,” Noes added.
Fremantle Football Club and DP World will continue to embark on this extended journey, one that promises to bring innovation, success, and community enrichment.
