Greater Anglia Extends Partnership With Cambridge United FC
Greater Anglia has confirmed the continuation of its partnership with Cambridge United Football Club, maintaining its support for the club, its fans, and the wider Cambridge community.
First established in 2024, the collaboration sees Greater Anglia remain the official sponsor of the Habbin Stand at the Cledara Abbey Stadium. The company’s branding will continue to be prominently displayed, reinforcing the connection between the train operator, the football club, and local supporters.
The partnership aligns two organisations with shared interests in serving Cambridge and the surrounding region. Cambridge North railway station, a short walk from the stadium, offers convenient access for fans, with journey times of seven minutes from Cambridge station and around 11 minutes from Ely, making rail travel a practical choice for matchdays.
Supporters can expect enhanced matchday experiences, including live travel updates, exclusive promotions, and special incentives, all aimed at making journeys smoother and more cost-effective. Fans are encouraged to purchase tickets in advance via the Greater Anglia app to avoid queues and secure the best fares during the 2025/26 League Two season.
Greater Anglia’s modern fleet and punctual services contribute to a reliable matchday travel experience. Since April 2023, the operator has been the UK’s best-performing train operator nationally. Investment in new trains, alongside the development of Cambridge North and the upcoming Cambridge South station (scheduled to open in June 2026), has strengthened connectivity across the city, reduced road congestion, and helped lower carbon emissions.
Neil Rowe, Head of Commercial at Cambridge United Football Club, said:
“We are delighted to extend our partnership with Greater Anglia. From day one they have demonstrated a genuine interest in the club, its supporters and the wider Cambridge community. As we look ahead to the future, we are excited about the additional value this renewal will deliver for fans, our staff and for local residents alike.”
Mike Barry, Greater Anglia’s Head of Stations North West, added:
“We are really proud to continue our partnership with Cambridge United FC and our sponsorship of the iconic Habbin Stand. We are always looking to play a positive role in the communities we serve and to build partnerships that deliver real benefits for customers. With Cambridge North station just a short walk from the Cledara Abbey Stadium, rail is an excellent option for travel to and from the U’s home games.”
