As a high profile sporting organisation, Sydney FC recognises the significant responsibility it has to service our football family and our community. Sydney FC players and staff are out in the community every week visiting schools, clubs and communities.
Additionally, Sydney FC receives many thousands of requests for donations, player appearances or assistance each year from a wide variety of organisations and causes, schools and community groups. Whilst we endeavour to provide support where we can, it is not possible to fulfill every request because of the level of demand.
Requests are evaluated on a case-by-case basis and to be considered must comply with our criteria:
Donation Criteria:
- You are a Sydney FC charity partner
- You are a current Sydney FC Member or Corporate Partner
- You are a part of a local football club or association within Sydney
- You are a representative of a community, school or charity group within the club’s footprint
Other Important Notes:
- Due to the volume of requests, we do not accept items for signing.
- Requests for monetary donations or sponsorships will not be considered
- Personal requests for birthdays, weddings or anniversaries will not be considered.
- Receipt by Sydney FC of this request does not guarantee that the request will be granted,
the club will confirm seperately the outcome of the request. - Where the request is for a player appearance, it must indicate the role to be undertaken by
the player(s), and list if in any activity there is a risk of injury. Please note players have
limited availability during the playing season. Once an appearance has been confirmed,
it is possible that due to unforeseen circumstances, including amended playing and training
schedules, an appearance might have to be cancelled with regret. Although a rare
occurrence, we need to bring this to your attention. Requests must be made at least six (6)
weeks in advance of the event. Appearances are scheduled for one (1) hour.
In order to be eligible for a donation/player appearance, a Donation/Player Appearance Application Form needs to be downloaded, completed and submitted to community@sydneyfc.com. This procedure ensures that requests are able to be properly recorded and tracked.
Thankyou for your understanding.
