Stevenage Football Club has welcomed on board the rail operator Lumo as its new Official Under 18s Training Wear partner for the 2025/26 season.
The exciting new partnership will see the iconic Lumo logo proudly placed on the front of the club’s Under 18s training shirts.
Lumo is a key player on the East Coast Main Line, linking Stevenage with destinations including London King’s Cross, Newcastle, Morpeth and Edinburgh. Monday-Saturday Lumo services stopping at Stevenage will double in December, in addition to an extra four every Sunday. The operator will also be introducing direct services from Stevenage to Falkirk and Glasgow, offering low fares and sustainable travel.
Stevenage FC is a proud supporter of the next generation of talent on the pitch, making this the perfect partnership. Lumo also backs future rail talent, with 95% of the team joining through an apprenticeship programme in 2024.
The partnership follows a range of support from Lumo in the numerous communities it proudly serves. In recent months, the Lumo team has backed good causes including Newcastle Pride, as well as the basketball club Newcastle Eagles.
Jen Clare, Service Delivery Director at Lumo, said: “We’re very excited to see Lumo proudly on display on the training shirts of Stevenage FC’s talented Under 18s team. The club is nurturing the best new talent in the area and providing some amazing opportunities, so we’re really pleased to be their latest signing!
“Supporting the communities that we provide with affordable and sustainable travel every day is very important to us and I’d like to wish the club plenty of success in the new season. I’m sure the atmosphere, just like our trains, is going to be electric at all of their games!”
Adrian Hawkins OBE, Chair of the Stevenage Development Board, said: “As someone that regularly travels to Edinburgh, the Lumo train service and the four hour travel time is a fabulous facility to use. The Stevenage Development Board is working to deliver a new Station Gateway within the town for the millions of journeys taking place each year and it is a delight that our volumes are recognised by Lumo as the next stop from London to Newcastle and Scotland.
“It is truly wonderful that our service providers are also supporting Stevenage FC and that we are all focused on delivering support and facilities for the future generations of our wonderful town.”
David Hoskins, Head of Commercial at Stevenage FC, added: “This is an exciting new partnership for our academy and we’re delighted to see the prominent Lumo branding on both the under 18s training shirts and also around our stadium.”
