We have been a proud partner of the Sydney Swans for the last 13 years, helping to drive the team forward in all aspects of footy life.
Volkswagen Clap Banner
We distribute the ever-popular Volkswagen Clap Banners to fans entering the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) detailing messages of support so fans can cheer on the Sydney Swans and make some noise from their seats.
During half time at every Sydney Swans home game, we get fans on their feet with the Volkswagen Clap Banner promotion. To enter fans will be asked to hold up their banners high in the air for their chance to win a $500 fuel card. A winner will be selected at random by the Sydney Cricket Ground camera from those fans waving their clap banner.
Our range is worth driving, so we created the Volkswagen Driving Range. At Driver Avenue outside the front entrance to the SCG, we’ve invited fans to kick their way onto the field in a part virtual, part real-world activation experience that tests accuracy, speed and kicking skill.
Volkswagen R-Thing Experience
The Volkswagen R Range is something special. To celebrate we’ve teamed up with the Sydney Swans to create the R Thing Experience, a luxurious VIP experience to watch the Swans play at the SCG. You’ll get to pick your own food, drinks, merchandise and who joins you. Click here vwrthing.com.au and enter now to win a seat for you and a friend at an upcoming home game!

In partnership with the Sydney Swans, we’ve been supporting communities across Australia since 2015, with our dedicated grassroots grants program.

These funds have helped provide new footballs, uniforms, training equipment as well as facility improvements to uplift community clubs in need.
