On behalf of the club I would like to thank you for taking the time to peruse our Sponsorship Prospectus for 2020. What you will find throughout this document is the varying levels of Sponsorship that we can offer at the Aspley Hornets. Whether it be as a Major Sponsor of our NEAFL or Junior teams to a Club Corporate Supporter, there is a package for everyone.

We have listed the key inclusions for each package over the following pages. This is only the surface of what is available to you as a Sponsor. If there is any sponsorship package that you are interested in, our wonderful staff would be happy to meet with you to further discuss the additional benefits available.

Our Football Club continues to be at the forefront for participation numbers for all levels of football for both Men and Women.

The Growth in women’s football is something that we are extremely excited about, 2019 was our womens teams first year in the QAFLW state league, this is the highest level of football available for females outside of the AFLW in Queensland. An exciting opportunity has presented itself to potential sponsors with our Womens Major Sponsorship position available for 2020.

Our NEAFL side have established themselves as the most Elite team outside the AFL in Brisbane. We have participated in finals for the last seven seasons which has included playing in three Grand Finals. Our ability to both promote Junior development and attract high profile recruits has allowed us to remain extremely competitive in a competition that includes 4 AFL Reserves sides (Brisbane Lions, Gold Coast Suns, GWS Giants & Sydney Swans)

Our Junior program is one of the strongest in Australia and continues to grow with over 500 registered players in 2019.

Our football footprint is ever growing at the Hornets, due to our high player numbers we have two additional fields at our Brendale facility, offering first class facilities which will add to our ability to provide increasing exposure to our sponsors through both signage and electronic media.

With many more exciting programs and initiatives on the horizon I encourage you to jump on board and join the Hornets team for 2020.
