MACARTHUR FC’S LOCAL INVESTMENT GROWS
MACARTHUR FC’s future was strengthened today with investment committed from two new local businesses.
As the Club moves into its next phase, two local families, the Gerace and Mammone families, will formally support the Club as a new shareholder. Walker Corporation will continue as a major five-year sponsor of Macarthur FC, while the Gerace and Mammone families will take Walker’s place as a shareholder, strengthening both the local support and investment in the Club to keep expanding and providing pathways for local footballers. “The goal from the beginning was to establish a professional football club for the region’s future generations – we have successfully established a grassroots club thanks to the strong and significant support from local businesses and communities, junior football associations, and Macarthur’s local councils,” Walker Executive Chairman Lang Walker AO said. “And now as the Club moves into its next phase, local investment will help it deliver opportunities to the region, while Walker will continue our support in the health and wellbeing of the community through our investment in the Macarthur Medical Research Centre.”
Roy Mammone, said he was thrilled as one of the regions largest employers to have the opportunity to support Macarthur FC and the region. “The Club’s next phase is only possible because of the significant support and investment from the current shareholders, businesses like Walker, local home builder Wisdom Homes, Australian tech innovators Solos and homes.com.au, as well as the Club’s community partners, Campbelltown City Council, local shopping centre Macarthur Square and Western Sydney University,” Macarthur FC hit the ground running, establishing a Centre of Excellence and a grassroots community engagement program to support three local football associations, representing 28,000 players and more than 90 clubs.
Michael Gerace added: “The Club is very excited to be so close to our inaugural season. I’m looking forward to seeing families and football fans getting behind the region’s first professional football club.”
Macarthur FC Executive Chairman Rabieh Krayem said “This investment by two of the most successful business people in the Macarthur region is a great endorsement of the Hyundai A-League and the achievements of the club.”
