GAC Australia Becomes Melbourne City FC’s Official Automotive Partner
GAC Australia is strengthening its connection with Australian football after announcing a new multi-year partnership with Melbourne City FC.
Beginning with the 2026/27 A-League season, GAC will become Melbourne City FC’s official automotive partner across both the men’s and women’s teams. The agreement follows GAC Australia’s earlier partnership with Sydney FC and signals the automotive brand’s long-term commitment to engaging with football supporters around the country. Local drivers can also explore current GAC vehicles at Tynan GAC Sutherland.
For customers discovering the GAC range at Tynan GAC Sutherland in Kirrawee, the partnership is another sign of the brand’s growing presence in Australia.
GAC Joins the Melbourne City FC Family
Under the partnership, the GAC logo will feature on the playing shorts of Melbourne City FC’s A-League Men’s and Women’s teams.
The relationship will extend well beyond team apparel. GAC is set to participate in match-day activations at AAMI Park, player appearances, fan experiences and digital collaborations across Melbourne City FC’s platforms.
These activities will give supporters more opportunities to interact with the GAC brand throughout the season, while helping the automotive company introduce its vehicles and technology to a broader Australian audience. The latest new and demonstrator GAC stock can be explored through Tynan GAC Sutherland.
The partnership brings together two organisations with a shared focus on ambition, innovation and long-term growth. Melbourne City FC has established itself as a major presence in Australian football, while GAC is working to build recognition in the local automotive market following its Australian launch in November 2025.
A Long-Term Investment in Australian Football
The Melbourne City FC agreement is GAC Australia’s second major A-League partnership, following its deal with Sydney FC. As awareness of the brand continues to grow, Southern Sydney customers can discover the GAC range at Tynan GAC Sutherland.
Working with clubs in both Melbourne and Sydney gives GAC a connection with two of the country’s largest football communities. It also creates opportunities for the brand to engage with supporters through live events, community experiences and digital content rather than relying only on traditional automotive advertising.
GAC International Australia CEO Kevin Shu described the partnership as an opportunity to build something meaningful over the longer term. He highlighted Melbourne City FC’s competitive history and linked the club’s ambition with GAC’s own plans to grow sustainably in Australia.
Melbourne City FC CEO Brad Rowse welcomed GAC as the club’s official automotive partner, noting the organisations’ shared interest in innovation, challenging expectations and investing for the future.
Supporting Both Men’s and Women’s Football
A notable feature of the agreement is its presence across Melbourne City FC’s men’s and women’s programs.
GAC branding will appear on the playing shorts of both teams, while partnership activities are expected to connect with members and supporters across the wider club community.
This broad approach gives the partnership relevance throughout the A-League season and reflects the growing profile of both men’s and women’s football in Australia.
GAC Continues to Grow in Australia
GAC is headquartered in Guangzhou and draws on an international network of design, research and development expertise. The company has design and R&D operations in locations including Guangzhou, Shanghai and Milan, combining global resources with a growing local presence.
The manufacturer recently reached another major milestone by producing its 30 millionth vehicle since its establishment in 1997. Its expansion into Australia adds another market to that global story.
Partnerships with Melbourne City FC and Sydney FC give GAC a highly visible way to introduce itself to Australian drivers. For football fans, the brand will become increasingly familiar through match days, team content and supporter experiences.
