The two parties will also activate the partnership through exclusive content, competitions, and other fan engagement initiatives.
Rafał Brzoska, InPost Group founder and chief executive, said: “This exciting partnership with Newcastle United underlines our commitment to expand InPost’s presence in the UK and Europe and to provide our delivery solutions to a wider audience.
“Sport is a core strategic pillar for InPost across Europe, and we are delighted to add a football team to our growing portfolio of partners. The international reach and popularity of the club will also help InPost break new ground.”
