Stevenage Football Club has announced a new partnership with Lumo, a Newcastle-headquartered rail operator, as its official Under 18s training wear partner for the 2025/26 season. The partnership will see the Lumo logo featured on the front of the club’s Under 18s training shirts, highlighting the company’s support for youth sport. Lumo, which runs services along the East Coast Main Line connecting Stevenage with destinations including London, Newcastle, Morpeth, and Edinburgh, is expanding its presence in the area. From December, Monday-to-Saturday services stopping at Stevenage will double, with four additional trains on Sundays. Jen Clare, service delivery director at Lumo, said the partnership aligns with both organisations’ focus on nurturing young talent. David Hoskins, head of commercial at Stevenage FC, added that the club is delighted to see the prominent Lumo branding on both the under 18s training shirts and around the stadium. The collaboration adds to Lumo’s ongoing community engagement, following recent support for local initiatives including Newcastle Pride and Newcastle Eagles basketball club. Stevenage's academy will benefit from the partnership, with the club developing the next generation of footballers. The partnership is a significant boost for the club, with Lumo's investment in future rail talent and its apprenticeship programme. The club's fans will also benefit from Lumo's affordable and sustainable travel options. And with the new partnership, Stevenage FC is looking forward to a successful season, with the support of Lumo and its commitment to youth sport.
