British sportswear brand set to supply the club's official match kits, training wear, and lifestyle apparel for the 2026/27 season.
The partnership is struck with ShockProof Investments 223 (Pty) Ltd, Umbro's official licensee partner across selected African countries, and brings Stellenbosch back into Umbro's international football family - a network of over 120 clubs worldwide.
It is a reunion with history behind it. Umbro last partnered with Stellenbosch during the club's 2018/19 National First Division title-winning campaign - the season that earned them promotion to the top flight of South African football. That shared milestone gives this renewed deal a sentimental edge beyond the commercial.
Byron Mulholland, Sales Director at ShockProof Investments, welcomed the return. "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," he said.
Stellenbosch FC CEO Rob Benadie reflected on what the reunion means for the club. "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," he said.
