Club Lime Extends Canberra Raiders Partnership Through 2028

Fitness brand Club Lime has locked in a two-year extension of its long-standing partnership with the Canberra Raiders, securing its presence through the end of the 2028 NRL season and charting a course toward a major 25-year milestone.

Operated by Viva Leisure, Club Lime will retain its prominent lower-back jersey position on the Raiders’ NRL playing and training apparel while expanding its footprint to the NRLW, NRLW Under-19, and Under-17 teams for the first time.

The agreement also grants Club Lime naming rights to the newly renamed Club Lime – Legends Lounge within the Meninga Stand, reinforcing the brand’s visibility across elite match-day hospitality and broader development pathways.

A Deep-seated Alignment Between Canberra entities

Emphasising the value of broadening the collaboration across women’s and junior programs, Viva Leisure chief operating officer, Sean Hodges, said: “Club Lime and the Raiders have grown alongside each other for more than two decades, so extending this partnership through to 2028 is particularly meaningful.”

“What makes this next chapter exciting is that we’re expanding our support beyond the NRL team to include the NRLW and junior pathways.

“Fitness is for everyone, and we’re proud to support all athletes at every stage of their development.

“We’re also looking forward to creating more opportunities for Raiders members and fans to engage with Club Lime, both in Canberra and across the country,” Hodges said.

Highlighting the synergy that extends far beyond standard branding, and noting the practical utility players find in Club Lime facilities nationwide, Canberra Raiders CEO, Don Furner, added: “Club Lime has been part of the Raiders family for more than two decades, and it’s fantastic to see this partnership continue to grow.”

“We’re privileged to have associations with many iconic Canberra brands and Club Lime is certainly one of these.

“Our players have long used Club Lime facilities in Canberra and at interstate locations when we’re on the road, so there’s a genuine connection between our organisations beyond match day.

“Expanding the partnership across our NRLW and junior teams is a great next step and reflects the shared values of health, performance, teamwork and community that sit at the heart of both organisations,” Furner noted.
