“After what was the most incredible year of action in season 2023/24, we can’t wait for another exciting year of football featuring more than 15 internationals from around the globe and the best rising stars from across Australia and New Zealand,” A-League commissioner, Nick Garcia said

“This league continues to be the proven pathway for the next generation of international stars, and this season we will again see the best home-grown talent stake their claim to be the global stars of tomorrow.”

The A-League women’s competition also has a new naming rights sponsor – global product design and technology company SharkNinja.
