The VAFA is pleased to announce a two-year extension of its partnership with the pioneers of compression sportswear, SKINS.
This new deal covers the 2025 and 2026 seasons and sees SKINS continue to celebrate the SKINS Player of the Game on the VAFA’s weekly SEN Match of the Day coverage and provide products to the Big V Senior Men’s and Women’s teams.
“SKINS are synonymous with compression sportswear, so much so that their brand has become interchangeable with compression wear itself,” said VAFA Chief Executive Officer, Jason Reddick.
“So, we are delighted to continue our relationship with them for another two seasons and sincerely appreciate their support of our award-winning VAFA SEN Match of the Day coverage and of our Senior Big V teams.”
“We are thrilled that SKINS is renewing its partnership with the VAFA, the premier community Australian Rules football league in Australia!” said Allan Sassoon, Country Manager for SKINS compression.
“This exciting partnership allows us to continue supporting grassroots football and the incredible athletes who make the game so special.
“At SKINS, we’re committed to empowering athletes with the best in performance wear, and working with the VAFA gives us the opportunity to contribute to the growth of Aussie Rules at community level.
“Here’s to a new chapter of strength, endurance and camaraderie!”
The SKINS Player of the Game is awarded to the best player on the ground – as voted by our VAFA SEN Match of the Day commentary team – every Saturday afternoon.
You can listen to our award-winning coverage at VAFA.com.au and the SEN app from 1.45pm Saturdays.
