‘TEAMelbourne’s’ founding member clubs are the Melbourne Football Club, Melbourne Storm Rugby League Club, Melbourne Tigers Basketball Club, Melbourne Racing Club and Netball Victoria,.
"TEAMelbourne is a brilliant new concept that will see Victoria's elite sports clubs join forces to boost Melbourne's brand as the sporting capital of the world, across a diverse range of high-profile sports," said Steve Bracks MP, Premier of Victoria.
"Our highest profile sporting organisations are casting aside their inter-sport rivalries in a revolutionary approach to bettering their own codes, and the overall status of sports in this great sporting city.”
The project’s stakeholders have collectively committed Aus$1.5 million in funding over the next three years, while the Victorian Government in their capacity as Major Supporting Partner provided seed funding to support the initiative.
