In 2026, Sydney Stingers turns 25.

We are marking the milestone with a year-long series of community and competitive events, from our presence at the Water Polo World Cup Finals to Rainbow Cup, a formal celebration night at QT Sydney, and Beach Fours at Manly Cove.

We are looking for organisations that want to support the series and connect with our community.

Who we are

Sydney Stingers is Sydney's only LGBTQIA+ inclusive water polo club. We have more than 200 members, a 25-year history of making space for queer people in sport, and strong reach across Sydney's LGBTQIA+ community.

We are also working with Water Polo Australia as a community partner for WC26, and we maintain active networks with LGBTQIA+ sporting organisations locally, nationally, and internationally.

What we are looking for

We are looking for partners who are genuinely aligned with inclusion, community sport, and accessible participation.

There is no standard package. We would rather build something that has real impact for both sides than fit you into a template.

What partnership can look like

  • Event naming rights for specific Celebration Series events

  • In-kind support, including venue, product, services, or equipment

  • Social media collaboration and cross-promotion across our networks

  • Community engagement through our 200+ membership base

  • Cash sponsorship at a level that works for your organisation
