Optus has been proud to sponsor the Carlton Football Club since 1993. From 1993 to 2005 Optus held the naming rights of the Carlton Football Club's home ground known as Optus Oval or "Optus" to the fans. Optus then became the major sponsor of the Carlton Football Club with the Optus logo featuring on the famous dark navy blue guernsey.

Carlton has played in the last three finals series adding further to its great history in the AFL since the club was formed in 1864. Carlton has won a record equalling 16 AFL premierships, more than any other club with Essendon the only other club to achieve such success in the AFL.

Today Optus proudly supports Carlton Football Club as a Platinum Partner and as the Official Telecommunications Partner. The Optus logo is showcased on the players match day shorts. Through this partnership, we are involved in a wide range of fantastic initiatives - including:

Train with the Team

As part of this program, Optus customers join both AFL players and coaches (at either the SCG in Sydney or at MC Labour Park in Melbourne) and are given the chance to get professional tips and to test their footy skills against their favourite players. Guests are also given their own authentic AFL Guernsey and are able to talk footy with players over food and drinks afterwards.

We wish the Carlton Football Club all the best for the AFL premiership season.
