Newport IW Football Club Announces WightFibre Park As New Stadium Name

Newport Isle of Wight Football Club has announced WightFibre as the naming rights partner for its new home, which will be called WightFibre Park.

The partnership comes as the club prepares to move into the new Community Sports Complex at The Racecourse.

As part of the agreement, WightFibre will also become the club's main sponsor for the next three seasons, with its branding appearing on first-team home shirts, training wear, matchday programmes and club publicity.

The partnership will also see WightFibre branding displayed around the new ground, including at entrances, around the stadium and pitch side.

Newport IW chairman John Davies said the agreement marked an exciting new chapter for the club.

He said:

"This is a huge moment for the club. WightFibre has backed our vision from the start and we're proud that they'll be part of this exciting new chapter.

"The new ground has been years in the making and it will give us a home we can all be proud of. Having a well-known Island company alongside us makes it even more special."

WightFibre chief executive John Irvine said the company was delighted to partner with the club at such an important time.

He said:

"The club has big ambitions, but it's also deeply rooted in the local community. That's something that's important to us too.

"We're proud to put our name to the new ground and to support the club as it builds for the future."

The new WightFibre Park is set to become a venue for football, community events and activities for people across the Island.
