A-Leagues All Access

Australian Professional Leagues (APL) and Paramount ANZ have announced that the innovative new documentary series, A-Leagues All Access, will be broadcast via the home of Australian football, Paramount ANZ.

Produced by KEEPUP Studios and JAMTV, the show will premiere each Thursday at 7:30pm AEDT on 10 Play, KEEPUP.COM.AU, the KEEPUP app and KEEPUP on YouTube. It will be available on Australia’s fastest growing streaming service, Paramount+, and will then be broadcast on 10 Bold at 2:00pm AEDT on Saturday afternoons ahead of the evening’s Isuzu UTE A-League Men game on the same channel.

The A-Leagues All Access series is a new behind-the-scenes documentary series that is designed to bring fans closer to their favourite A-Leagues players and clubs than ever before in 2022-23.

Ant Hearne, Chief Commercial Officer at the APL, voiced his excitement at having the series available for fans on multiple platforms.

“A-Leagues All Access is a groundbreaking series that offers more access than ever before to our fans, and now we are giving them even more ways to watch thanks to Paramount ANZ. This real-time, weekly format is a first for Australian sport, offering our fans the opportunity to get up close and personal with the stars of the A-Leagues, every single week,” he said via media release.

The first ever episode will go live this Thursday October 13, and will give fans full access to Melbourne Victory marquee player Luis Nani and lead them through the Portuguese starlet’s viewpoint during Victory’s dramatic 3-2 defeat of Sydney FC in the Big Blue last weekend.

Each episode – 30 across the course of the season – focuses on one of the A-Leagues stars, and is turned around at rapid speed following the weekend’s action for broadcast every Thursday during the season.

The next episodes will feature Brisbane Roar’s Charlie Austin, Melbourne City Coach, Patrick Kisnorbo and rising Socceroos and Central Coast Mariners star, Garang Kuol. During the season break for the FIFA 2022 World Cup, Liberty A-League stars will shine with Western United and Matildas Chloe Logarzo, Melbourne Victory’s Kayla Morrison and Melbourne City and Matildas goalkeeper Melissa Babieri the featured stars.

KAM Melbourne to acquire majority stake in Western United FC

KAM Melbourne has confirmed its agreement to acquire a majority stake in the Western United Football Club and its parent company Western Melbourne Group.

Since launching in 2018, Western United Football Club (WUFC) has quickly made its mark on the pitch.

In 2019, Western Melbourne Group (WMG) and its group of investors set out with a bold vision: to create a vibrant, sports-led hub blending retail, residential living, and football in Melbourne’s west.

Their 62.5-hectare site in Tarneit, 25 kilometres from Melbourne’s CBD is at the heart of a groundbreaking public-private partnership with Wyndham City Council, focused on building world-class sports infrastructure.

At the core of this development will be a purpose-built football stadium and a home for an elite professional club.

KAM Melbourne, part of KAM Sports, brings specialist knowledge and will work alongside WMG’s partners and stakeholders to bring this vision to life.

The company is headed by Chairman and co-founder Maciek (MG) Kaminski, and CEO and co-founder Mikhail Kaminski.

With a strong background in managing large-scale residential and commercial projects in the US and Europe, the team brings deep expertise in investment, development, and project structuring.

Looking ahead, WUFC will be part of a broader, international multi-club strategy focused on football development. The goal is to create elite-level opportunities and pathways for Australian talent.

With over 40 years’ experience in both public and private real estate sectors, the Kaminski family is well-placed to lead this ambitious project.

For them, combining their global property development experience with football club ownership has been a long-held dream—and WUFC, along with the larger WMG project, offers the perfect way to make that dream a reality in Australia.

Chairman of Western Melbourne Group Jason Sourasis expressed his excitement ahead of the acquisition.

“We are thrilled by the significant investment and commitment from KAM Melbourne,” Mr Sourasis said in a press release.

“It was important to partner with a group that aligned with our values and believed in the vision.

“It has been an intensive 12-month due diligence process, in which KAM Melbourne took the time to truly understand our vision and the role it will play in shaping the needs of a fast-growing community.”

The deal is still pending and will go ahead once it receives the required approvals from Wyndham City, the Australian Professional Leagues (APL), and Football Australia (FA).

Western United and the Western Melbourne Group will provide further comments once the necessary regulatory approves have been finalised.
