Iconic food brand Four’N Twenty partners with Team Australia ahead of World Baseball Classic
Four’N Twenty, one of Australia’s most iconic food brands, has announced a renewed partnership with Team Australia ahead of the 2026 World Baseball Classic campaign.
The partnership will see Four’N Twenty backing Team Australia as they take on the biggest baseball nations in the world at the 2026 World Baseball Classic, beginning March 4 in Tokyo.
Four’N Twenty will feature proudly on the team’s uniform and branding as Team Australia plays in front of tens of millions of baseball fans globally. Their iconic meat pies, already on sale in Japan, will also be available to fans at the Tokyo Dome throughout the tournament.
This announcement marks another chapter in Four’N Twenty’s long history of supporting the national baseball team, following partnerships at the 2023 Asia Professional Baseball Championship and the 2024 Hanwha Series in Melbourne.
The iconic Four’N Twenty meat pie is also a staple in clubhouses around diamonds at a grassroots level across Australia.
Anand Surujpal, Chief Marketing and Growth Officer at Patties Food Group, said the company is excited to stand behind the national program once again.
“We’ve been feeding Aussie sports fans for generations, and supporting Team Australia on the world stage is something we’re incredibly proud of,” Surujpal said.
“Four’N Twenty has been part of major sporting moments in this country for over 75 years, and we’re thrilled to back Team Australia as they head to Tokyo. There’s nothing more Australian than enjoying a pie while cheering on the green and gold.”
Baseball Australia CEO Glenn Williams welcomed the continued partnership.
“Four’N Twenty and Australian sport have a long and successful history together,” Williams said.
“They’ve been tremendous supporters of Team Australia in recent years, including the APBC and the Hanwha Series, and this renewed partnership takes that connection to another level. We’re proud to take such an iconic Australian brand with us onto the world stage.”
Four’N Twenty’s presence in Japan has grown significantly since 2019, with their famous pies becoming a fan favourite at the Tokyo Dome and Escon Field. Their continued support aligns perfectly with Team Australia’s expanding international profile.
The partnership also reflects a shared commitment to community sport. With participation rates rising sharply across the country and thousands of volunteers supporting the grassroots game, both organisations value their deep connections to local communities.
Team Australia enters the World Baseball Classic hoping to build on their historic quarterfinal appearance in 2023.
Williams adds that it feels appropriate that a ballpark staple is going with the team to Japan.
“Most of us grew up eating Four’N Twenty pies at the local ballpark. To have their support on the biggest stage in world baseball means a lot. The team is excited and can’t wait to represent Australia in Tokyo,” he said.
As Four’N Twenty continues expanding its presence in major global sports, the renewed partnership with Team Australia brings together two Australian icons ahead of an exciting World Baseball Classic campaign.
