Simon Tunley, Head of Sport at Sussex and Tom Allman, General Manager at Crawley Town FC

Drawn by our professional gym facilities, quality pitches, excellent facilities and our experience of supporting Brighton & Hove Albion Men's and Women's teams over the last 25 years, Crawley Town Football Club (FC) will be training at our Falmer Sports Complex throughout the upcoming 2023-24 season.

The partnership between Crawley Town FC and the University is also opening up new benefits for students and staff.

For students there will be opportunities for internships and placements, as well as access to Crawley Town’s first team coaches, and everyone will have the opportunity to win tickets to games and benefit from brand new gym equipment being installed.

Head of Sport at the University of Sussex Simon Tunley added: “We are delighted to welcome Crawley Town FC to the University of Sussex, which has a proud history of supporting its local football teams over the last 30 years. The partnership with Crawley Town FC rekindles our desire to build partnerships that are mutually beneficial for all parties with a particular focus on developing the student experience through additional gym space and coaching support.”
