MatchWornShirt and Hockey Australia’s New Partnership

MatchWornShirt, the global leader in authentic sports memorabilia, has announced a new partnership with Hockey Australia, giving fans of the Hockeyroos and Kookaburras the chance to own match-worn and signed jerseys.

The initiative will launch with an inaugural online auction on 4 September, coinciding with the opening match of the 2025 Oceania Cup in Darwin. Fans will be able to bid on exclusive shirts worn during the competition, marking a rare opportunity to secure a tangible piece of hockey history.

Enhancing the Fan Experience

Hockey Australia CEO, David Pryles, said the partnership connects fans more closely with their teams: “Signed, match-worn shirts capture real moments in time and reflect the journeys our teams embark upon. This initiative is an extraordinary opportunity for fans to hold a piece of hockey history.”

MatchWornShirt CEO, Tijmen Zonderwijk, added: “Australian hockey fans now have the chance to own memorabilia from some of the sport’s biggest moments. Our mission is to bring fans and collectors closer to the athletes they admire, and these auctions create that direct connection.”

Expanding Access to Iconic Moments

To celebrate the partnership, MatchWornShirt has launched a giveaway featuring a signed jersey from Kookaburras star Jeremy Hayward. Looking ahead, auctions will also include memorabilia from the 2026 FIH Pro League in Hobart, European competitions, and the 2026 FIH World Cup.

Hockey Australia joins a growing list of global teams and federations already featured on MatchWornShirt since its launch in 2017. The platform has delivered exclusive collectibles from landmark events, including The Ashes, the FIFA Club World Cup Final, and the British and Irish Lions Tour.

This collaboration positions Hockey Australia alongside some of the world’s most iconic sporting properties, while offering fans unprecedented access to memorabilia that captures defining moments on the field.
