Performance boost for Maroons thanks to Bauerfeind partnership

Now in its fifth consecutive year as an official partner, Queensland Rugby League’s collaboration with trusted performance and recovery specialist Bauerfeind continues to deliver world-class support to athletes across its representative and pathways programs.

Renowned globally for its precision-engineered medical grade products, Bauerfeind has become a fixture within Queensland’s elite sporting ecosystem, working closely with NRL powerhouses including the Brisbane Broncos, The Dolphins, North Queensland Cowboys, and Gold Coast Titans, as well as their extensive network of feeder clubs.

When players step up into the intense State of Origin arena, they do so with added confidence knowing that Bauerfeind is right behind the Queensland Maroons’ teams and their preparations. 

 

 

“We’re thrilled to once again be backing the mighty Maroons for a fifth consecutive year,” Bauerfeind ANZ Managing Director Walid Yassine said. 

“With a proven track record supporting elite athletes globally, including Olympians and NBA stars, we understand that peak performance hinges on the smallest of margins. Bauerfeind is engineered to deliver those vital one-per-cent advantages to help accelerate recovery, minimise fatigue, and enhance stability when it matters most. In a game like Origin, these fine details can be the difference.”

“Importantly, Bauerfeind isn’t just for our Maroons heroes. Our products support everyone. We’re here for the weekend warriors, club players, and community heroes giving their all across Queensland week in, week out.”

Bauerfeind’s compression and bracing products are now available through Rebel stores across Queensland, making elite-level gear accessible to community athletes and sporting professionals alike.

For many current Maroons, including Patrick Carrigan and Kalyn Ponga, Bauerfeind’s compression products were essential on their long flight to Perth ahead of Game II of the 2025 State of Origin series.

“Due to the physical nature of the game and the rigours of training and travel, it’s imperative that we keep the players in optimal shape, so they can bring their best to every session and game,” Maroons physiotherapist Steve Sartori said.

“Compression is massive, especially during the recovery stage. We’re really fortunate at the Queensland Maroons to have a strong partnership with Bauerfeind, who support us with all of our compression and bracing support needs.”

“Compression and medical grade support products are a huge part of our recovery… if you do it right, you’ll be two steps ahead of where you’d be if you didn’t.”

As the Maroons continue their push for Origin glory, Bauerfeind remains a key contributor behind the scenes, ensuring Queensland’s best can perform at theirs.
