Stena sponsors some special athletes

[ November 5, 2025   //   Chris Lewis ]

Stena Line has confirmed a new four-year sponsorship agreement from 2025 to 2028 with Special Olympics Ireland, which provides training and competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for people with an intellectual disability.

With Stena’s support, almost 7,000 Special Olympics athletes from communities across the island of Ireland will gain greater access to training, competition, and personal development opportunities — from grassroots club sessions to representing Ireland on the world stage.

The partnership will help SOI expand programmes that build confidence, resilience, and connection among athletes with intellectual disabilities.

Stena Line trade director Johan Edelman, said: “Marking 30 years of service in Dublin and 30 years in Belfast Harbour are significant milestones for Stena Line, and we’re honoured to celebrate them by launching a new four-year partnership with Special Olympics Ireland. Inclusivity and care are the cornerstones of our company, therefore we’re delighted that we can support these incredible athletes and make a difference in local communities across Ireland.”
