As the Northern Mystics netball team begin their journey to defend their premiership title, they have a new vehicle sponsor, the Omoda Jaecoo.
The collaboration marks Omoda Jaecoo’s first major foray into New Zealand’s sporting arena, aligning the brand with the high-performance, team-focused values that define the Mystics both on and off the court.
“We’re thrilled to be supporting the Northern Mystics this season,” said Lewis Lu, CEO, Omoda Jaecoo Australia & NZ.
The team and staff will drive Omoda Jaecoo SUVs.
“Netball is a sport that represents strength, agility, and connection—qualities that mirror our brand ethos. This partnership reflects our commitment to empowering local communities and championing women in sport.”
The sponsorship deal includes the provision of a fleet of Omoda Jaecoo vehicles for the Northern Mystics team and staff. Both parties will also collaborate on engagement initiatives and promotional campaigns throughout the season.

Their support will help our athletes perform at their best while enhancing the visibility and growth of women’s sport in New Zealand.”
