Anglo scores Central Queensland in Dolphins deal

The Dolphins NRL team has welcomed global miner Anglo American to the team as its newest premier partner from 2024. Anglo would also be the club's official mining partner and a community partner. A key driver of the partnership was a strong mutual connection to Central Queensland at a grassroots level, chief executive officer of Anglo American in Australia, Dan van der Westhuizen, said. The Dolphins' significant geographical footprint extends from Brisbane’s northern corridor, to the Sunshine Coast and up into Central Queensland regions where Anglo American’s five steelmaking coal mines are located. “We’re delighted to be partnering with the Dolphins to support more opportunities for Queenslanders to get involved with, and benefit from, rugby league,” Mr van der Westhuizen said.

Developing opportunities for women in sport is more important than ever and we’ll be working together to improve diversity and inclusion across both our industries."
