The Australian Professional Leagues (APL) has announced a significant partnership with global lifestyle brand Ninja, which will serve as the major partner for the 2026 Ninja A-League All Stars. This announcement coincides with the unveiling of the official playing kit, set to be worn during the upcoming match against Chelsea FC Women.

New Kit and Upcoming Match

The new playing kit, manufactured by Kappa Australia, will debut when the Ninja A-League All Stars take on Women's Super League champions Chelsea at Allianz Stadium on August 12, as part of the Sydney Super Cup. This collaboration marks a pivotal moment for Ninja, further solidifying its commitment to Australian football after previously becoming the naming rights partner of the Ninja A-League earlier this year.

Celebrating Women's Football

The partnership not only enhances Ninja's visibility within the sport but also emphasizes its investment in women's football, positioning the brand prominently during one of the league's most significant events. Kappa Australia continues its longstanding relationship with the A-League All Stars by supplying the match apparel, with the new kit design aimed at celebrating the growth and professionalism of women's football in Australia.

The upcoming fixture against Chelsea presents a valuable opportunity for the Ninja A-League All Stars to challenge themselves against top-tier international competition, reinforcing the event's status as a highlight on the Australian football calendar. Fans will have the chance to purchase the official playing jersey at Allianz Stadium on matchday, as well as through Ultra Football and Kappa Australia’s online store.
