MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA - Media OutReach Newswire - 21 October 2025 - CHiQ is proud to announce its strategic partnership with the North Melbourne Football Club, a cornerstone team of the Australian Football League (AFL). Over the 2026 and 2027 seasons, CHiQ will be the club's Co-Major Partner for the club's AFL Program and Platinum Partner for the AFLW Program, with branding featured prominently across official playing apparel—bringing CHiQ's dynamic energy and modern spirit to one of Australia's most-watched sporting stages.

The determination of the men's team and the excellence of the women's program deeply resonate with our brand values. This partnership is not only a celebration of sporting spirit—it's a meaningful step in forging emotional connections with Australian consumers."

Over next two seasons, CHiQ and North Melbourne will co-launch a series of interactive activations online and offline, with key retail partners across Australia to amplify brand visibility and drive mutual growth.

Since entering the Australian market in 2018, CHiQ has earned widespread consumer trust through its commitment to quality and innovation—recognised by two respected Australian organizations. Canstar Blue honored CHiQ as the prestigious Five-star "Best Performance" Award, and Finder conferred CHiQ's freezers as "Most Reliable", "Loved Brand", and "Value".
