Footy. 
Made by Scott.

For one round, one super fan became the first ever fan to officially sponsor an AFL team. That fan is Scott.

Scott takes over Lions Sponsorship

When we decided to become the Official Partner of Footy Fans, we knew we had to do something that showed fans just how much we valued their contribution to the game. So, we gave one fan our sponsorship to his beloved Brisbane Lions for a whole round.  Scott’s sponsorship is just the start of how we intend to celebrate and reward fans for making footy, footy.

Getting Onto the Guernsey

The Youi logo is close to the Lions players’ hearts, quite literally. Our logo takes pride of place on the front of the team guernsey, making it prime real estate. And we couldn’t think of a more worthy fan to hand it over to than Scott.

Footy. Made by fans. 

Since day 1, fans have made footy what it is. Which is why Youi is dedicated to acknowledging that football is ‘Made by Fans’ by shining a spotlight on those legends who cut the oranges, run the water, operate the BBQ and support their club. We’re proud to be the official partner of footy fans.

Lions Made by Fans

From strength to strength

It was 2020 when we first connected with the Brisbane Lions Football Club. Initially we got on board as Coach Partner and then in 2022, stepped up to be a Major Partner. In that time, we haven't looked back, supporting the players, the community and of course, the fans, without whom the Lions wouldn’t be the club they are today.

Footy. Made by fans.

Sure, the Lions players are the stars of the show. But what about the fans? Without them, footy wouldn't exist. That's why we're putting our support behind them; the individuals who love the game and give plenty to it.

The Youi Community Hill and Canteen is made by fans. Week in, week out, we give dedicated grassroots clubs and organisations the opportunity to raise much-needed funds at Lions AFLW home games. During the 2023 season, we’re proud to have helped raise more than $70,000.

Stories of change

For better or worse, change happens to all of us – even the biggest stars in the Brisbane Lions. We captured some of their stories of change.
