CommBank Backs AFC Women’s Asian Cup Australia 2026 As Official Regional Partner

CommBank has announced it will become the Official Regional Partner of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Women’s Asian Cup Australia 2026, to help bring the tournament to Australian shores for fans from around the world. 

Twenty years after Australia first hosted the event, the tournament returns for its 21st edition, featuring 12 national teams from across Asia.

Hosted in Perth, Gold Coast and Sydney from 1–21 March 2026, the AFC Women’s Asian Cup Australia 2026™ will also act as a qualifier for the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup.

“We’re proud to support the AFC Women’s Asian Cup as it comes to Australia next year. It’s a celebration of the world’s game and a reflection of our nation’s diversity and spirit. Football is a unifying force and a game for all that brings people together and inspires belief. The CommBank Matildas are a powerful example of that. As the tournament returns home, we’re excited to carry that legacy forward and help build a brighter future that reflects the spirit and strength of our communities,” said CommBank Group Executive Marketing and Corporate Affairs, Monique Macleod.

For CommBank Ambassador and CommBank Matilda, Sam Kerr, the partnership is especially important.

“Playing on home soil is always special. We feel the belief and support of Australians everywhere we go, but there’s nothing like having it in the stands with you. It’s great to have CommBank alongside us again as we bring another major tournament to Australia and keep inspiring the next generation of players.”

The partnership reflects CommBank’s long-standing support for football and celebrates the diversity and pride that unite fans and players across Australia and the region.

It builds on CommBank’s expanded partnership with Football Australia announced earlier this year in a six-year commitment to grow participation, pathways and inclusion in the game.
