CARLTON Football Club is delighted to announce Big Ant Studios have increased their support of AFLW, with the game developer becoming an AFLW Platinum Partner of the Blues.

One of Australia’s largest and longest-running game development houses, Big Ant Studios have developed and published games for the world’s biggest consoles, including PlayStation®4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch™.

The independent company is most famously known for producing the highest selling AFL, rugby league and cricket games of all time.

As part of their partnership with the Carlton women’s program, Big Ant will proudly present tonight’s 2020 AFLW Best and Fairest, a 2020 AFLW Junior Clinic and also feature on the front and back of the VFLW guernseys as a major partner.

“We are delighted to have Big Ant Studios continue as a partner of the Carlton Football Club,” Carlton CEO Cain Liddle said.

“Ross, his family and the entire team at Big Ant are genuine in their support of the women’s game.  They are committed to its ongoing growth and development and we are excited to be working alongside them in order to achieve that 

“To continue to have partners increasing and extending their commitment to our football club, through what are unprecedented times right across the world, is a huge endorsement for the work our board, players, staff, members and partners have done in creating a strong off-field foundation for our club. 

Big Ant Studio CEO Ross Symons said the company was proud to partner with the Blues’ women’s program.

“We care deeply about doing our part to promote and support women's sport at Big Ant, which is why we've made sure that women have had equal prominence in each of the sports titles that we have produced over the past five years,” said Symons.

“We are extremely proud to be able to support all of the incredible women at the Carlton Football Club through this partnership.”
