The Newcastle Jets are the footballing heroes of over 650,000 locals in Newcastle, The Hunter and Northern NSW. The Jets are seeking to grow on and off the pitch, bringing pride to their legions of fans and chasing the type of success last tasted in 2008.
To help the Jets re-connect with the community, Greater Bank joined forces with the club as the Major Community Partner in 2015.
Central to this has been the establishment of the Jets:CONNECT program, which was born off the back of community and member feedback. The program aims to re-establish the all-important ties between football at the local level and at the nation's highest level and has enabled the club to reach more than 5,500 aspiring young footballers across the Hunter and throughout Northern NSW.
Each year, the Jets:TOUR aims to expand the reach and support of the Newcastle Jets to regional centres across NSW. The tour gives the Jets the chance to give back to their fans from further afield and promote a healthy and active lifestyle in these regional communities. In 2024 , the Jets A League Women's team will visit Cessnock in October. As a regional bank, Greater Bank is proud to support this initiative and loves to see our regional branches getting involved in the initiative.
There will be plenty of fun both on and off the pitch when the Newcastle Jets host their first home game of the A-League Men’s Season at McDonald Jones Stadium on Saturday, 15 October.
We're extending our Major Community Partnership with The Newcastle Jets for a further two seasons!
Football fans from across the Coffs Coast had the chance to meet some of the stars of Newcastle Jets A-League Men’s teams when they visited the region in August.
