The players will be sporting new shirts which have been sponsored by McLaughlin & Harvey, the contractor building the new city centre campus.
The construction company building Wolverhampton College's new City Learning Quarter Campus campus has teamed up with the organisation to support local charity Compton Care.
The building and civil engineering company approached the college regarding sponsorship as part of its corporate social responsibility scheme and was keen to give a local organisation the opportunity to add its branding to the kits alongside its own.
College staff were asked to vote for which charity should appear on players' football shirts, with Compton Care, which provides specialist palliative and bereavement support for local people living with a life-limiting condition, named as the overall winner.
Shane Greer, senior project manager at McLaughlin & Harvey, said: “It is a pleasure to sponsor the new football kits for Wolverhampton College.
"We actively support local communities and are dedicated to helping build futures.
In addition to our role as the main contractor for the new City Learning Quarter Campus, this partnership provides a wonderful opportunity for us to demonstrate our support.”
Emily Thompson, community and events manager at Compton Care, said: "We are incredibly honoured to have our logo featured on the college’s football shirts.
