GoFibre Kicks Off Sponsorship Deal With Berwick Rangers FC Women’s Team

Independent broadband provider GoFibre has kicked off a new sponsorship deal with Berwick Rangers FC women’s team which sees it named as the team’s new front of shirt sponsor for season 2025–26.  

The investment by GoFibre will be used exclusively for the benefit of the football team and its players through investment in the club. It will provide opportunities for local players, improve the team’s facilities and strengthen its presence in the community.  

Berwick Rangers Women’s FC is based at the club’s Shielfield Park stadium and began its competitive fixtures in the 2023/24 season. The team is in the FA’s Women’s Football Pyramid and competes in the North East Regional Women’s League. Last season, it won back-to-back championships in the league’s Division One and Premier categories. 

GoFibre’s sponsorship deal with Berwick Rangers FC women’s team follows a significant period of growth for the company in North Northumberland. In September GoFibre was announced as the first broadband supplier in the UK to complete a Project Gigabit build - in North Northumberland. Thousands of homes and businesses across the area can now stream, shop and work online without buffering thanks to GoFibre building a brand new full fibre network in the area. Project Gigabit is the government-funded programme to enable hard-to-reach communities to access fast, reliable gigabit-capable broadband. 

GoFibre has invested in Berwick Rangers FC women’s team through its social impact strategy which aims to make a positive, long-term difference for its customers and their communities. 

Neil Conaghan, Chief Executive at GoFibre, said: “Globally, women’s football is growing in popularity and having more impact than ever.  Berwick Rangers Women’s FC are a fantastic example of that, and GoFibre is proud to be backing the players as they embark on the new season. We’re excited to be bolstering our support for women’s sport in Northumberland and look forward to some cracking football through this new partnership with Berwick Rangers FC.” 

Nathan Thompson, Berwick Rangers FC, said: “Berwick-Upon-Tweed is no exception to the rapid growth of women’s football. Our team provides a route for women and girls in the town into competitive senior football, and – like the men’s team – the aim is to compete at the highest level possible. This investment by GoFibre will go some way to helping us meet this goal.”
