Stirling Macedonia FC Australia Cup Run
We were so proud to support our partner club Stirling Macedonia FC on their thrilling journey into the round of 32 in the Australia Cup. Their run sadly ended with a loss to Avondale FC on 22nd July, but we were so happy to have the DT38 logo featured on their match day shorts and to be with the Maccies all the way! Congratulations on going so deep guys.

DT38 Visit New Hammers Community Hub
DT38 Co-founder Tracy Tombides was delighted to be invited to visit The Foundry, a new Beckton-based community hub and home of the West Ham United Foundation. DT38 is very proud to work with the Foundation on raising awareness of testicular cancer and is looking forward to expanding our collaboration in the months and years ahead.
Diogo Jota
We were heartbroken to hear about the tragic passing of Diogo Jota on 3rd July. The number 20 was recently retired by Liverpool FC as a mark of respect to Diogo. The other current EPL clubs to make this tribute are Manchester City who retired the number 23 after Marc-Vivien Foe passed away from an undiagnosed heart condition in 2003 and, of course, WHUFC who retired Bobby Moore’s number 6 and the number 38 in memory of our Dylan Tombides. Rest in peace Diogo Jota.
