Bembridge Youth Football Club (BYFC), together with its parent club Bembridge Football Club (BFC), has announced its official status as a Nike Partner Club.
The initial 3-year deal with an option to extend to 6, heralds an exciting new chapter in the club’s development in a landmark agreement for clubs on the Isle of Wight. The partnership together with kit partner Kitlocker aligns BYFC with one of the world’s leading sports brands, reinforcing the club’s commitment to excellence, innovation, and the development of young footballers.
As a Nike Partner Club, BYFC will benefit from access to elite-level training gear, technology, coaching resources and exclusive opportunities designed to enhance player development at all levels. This collaboration will also ensure that all teams train and compete in top-quality Nike kits, further fostering the sense of unity and professionalism across the club.
BYFC Head of PR, Jim Homes, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership:
“The partnership with Nike is a game-changer for the village and our young players. Having access to these resources will enhance the children’s development, both on and off the pitch. It’s about creating an environment where they can thrive, build confidence, and push their potential to new heights. With Nike’s support, we’re giving our youth players the tools they need to succeed and grow into the best versions of themselves.”
BFC First Team Manager, Justin Malin, added:
“It’s much more than having high-quality kits and training gear— it’s about raising standards across the board where our players feel valued and motivated to push themselves to the next level. With Nike’s support, we can continue to develop young talent and build one club that the whole community can be proud of.”
Through this partnership, BYFC will also gain exclusive opportunities to participate in Nike Partner events, coaching workshops, and community initiatives, further integrating the club into the broader Nike ecosystem.
