CLACTON’S football club has announced its newest sponsorship which will follow them into next year.

FC Clacton, based at Austin Arena, has announced that Lit Fibre will be the team’s main sponsor for the 2023 to 2024 football season.

This comes after a partnership was initially founded between the two organisations in August 2022.

The new football kit will be worn by more than 400 boys, girls, men and women that represent the club in their 35 teams.

Stephen Andrews, FC Clacton’s Chairman stated that the team is very happy regarding the sponsorship.

He said: “We are delighted that Lit Fibre are to be our main club sponsor for the coming season and very grateful.

“They have already done so much to improve our stadium and it is fantastic to now see their logo on our amazing new eye-catching kits.”

Over the last year, Lit Fibre, a broadband provider, has helped restore the grounds’ well known bus shelter and dugout, as well as adding new signage.
