Northampton Town FC has launched an exciting matchday football partnership with GLK United and Tempeo Foundation, providing grassroots footballers and school children with unforgettable opportunities at Sixfields Stadium. The initiative, Cobblers Corner, aims to create memorable football experiences for young people across Northamptonshire, while promoting participation, inclusion, and community engagement through sport.
What happened?
The partnership marks the next chapter in a relationship that first began when Tempeo Foundation became sponsors of GLK United's Under-11s side. What started as support for a grassroots team has now developed into a wider collaboration designed to benefit hundreds of young players and schoolchildren.
Why it matters for Northampton Town
The partnership is expected to bring together grassroots clubs, schools, and families from across the county, creating a vibrant pre-match atmosphere at Northampton Town while offering participants a taste of the professional game.
What comes next?
The first events are scheduled to take place during the upcoming season, with anticipation building among players, coaches, and schools eager to become part of the programme. The partnership represents more than just football; it is an investment in the next generation, providing opportunities, inspiration, and experiences that many young people may never otherwise have the chance to enjoy.
As of 30 July 2026, Northampton Town FC is 24th in League One, with 35 points from 46 games, and a goal difference of -35. The team has scored 39 goals and conceded 74 this season, with 68 points behind leaders Lincoln.
The partnership is a testament to the club's ongoing commitment to player development and community engagement. Jordan Kelly for GLK United said, "None of this would be possible without the support of the Tempeo Foundation. Their dedication to creating opportunities for young people aligns perfectly with our values at GLK United."
The collaboration is expected to bring together grassroots clubs, schools, and families from across the county, creating a vibrant pre-match atmosphere at Northampton Town while offering participants a taste of the professional game. With the first events scheduled to take place during the upcoming season, anticipation is already building among players, coaches, and schools eager to become part of the programme.
