UNIO Co-Founder and Head of Operations Isabella Cooper said:
“We see a lot of ourselves in the LA Roosters. There’s a shared grit and a focus on the ‘human element’ that makes a team truly successful. While our day-to-day work happens behind the scenes of global technology, our heart is in the communities that bring people together. We’re incredibly proud to stand behind the Roosters and support a partnership built on mutual respect, local spirit, and the drive to get things right.”
UNIO Co-Founder and Head of Business Development Michael Cooper added:
“The tricolour jersey represents more than just a sport; it symbolizes a commitment to professional development and community integrity. As the LA Roosters build their future in the USA, UNIO Global is honoured to stand alongside them, ensuring that the quest for premierships begins with a foundation of excellence and a passion for our people. LA ROOSTERS TO WIN!”
BUILDING SOMETHING THAT LASTS
LA Roosters Chairman Josh Brandon welcomed UNIO Global to the club:
“UNIO Global is exactly the kind of partner we want beside us. Above all, they are people-first, which makes this a natural fit as we continue building something meaningful with the LA Roosters and our local communities in the U.S.”
The partnership is also supported by the club’s alignment with the Sydney Roosters, whose guidance continues to shape professional standards across the LA program.
Sydney Roosters CEO Joe Kelly said: “It’s terrific news ahead of the Vegas 9s that the LA Roosters have secured UNIO Global as their major partner for the next two years. In the rapidly expanding world of AI, it’s exciting to align with a partner operating at the cutting edge of this technology, while also making significant moves into the US market, much like we are with the continued growth of our LA Roosters Club.”
A PARTNERSHIP FOR THE FUTURE
With UNIO Global joining as Major Sponsor, the LA Roosters enter the Las Vegas 9s and 2026 USARL season with strong momentum on and off the field, reinforced by a partnership grounded in trust, shared ambition, and community impact.
