STELLENBOSCH FC and ShockProof Investments 223 (Pty) Ltd, Umbro’s official licensee partner across selected African countries, are proud to announce a new partnership that will see Umbro become an official sponsor of the Club.
Under the agreement, the sports brand will supply Stellenbosch with official match kits, training wear, and lifestyle apparel (off-field fan and player apparel) from the 2026-27 season, with the Club rejoining Umbro’s international football family of over 120 teams across the globe.
The partnership reunites and renews a fruitful relationship that traces back to the Club’s rise to the top-flight of South African football, with Umbro having proudly served as the technical kit sponsor during Stellenbosch’s title-winning triumph and promotion in the 2018-19 National First Division campaign.
Byron Mulholland, Sales Director at ShockProof Investment, commented:
“We’re excited to welcome Stellenbosch FC back into the Umbro family and to support the players in performing at their peak.
“The club’s remarkable rise and the energy it brings to South African football align perfectly with our values of passion and performance. Together, we look forward to growing the game and strengthening our connection with the fans.”
Rob Benadie, CEO of Stellenbosch Football Club added:
“Reuniting with Umbro connects an important chapter in our past with a shared vision for the future. This renewed partnership will support the Club as we continue to grow and compete at the highest level.
“Umbro was a great partner during our promotion-winning era, and we look forward to building on that shared history and creating new memories together in the years ahead.”
