The awards nominations come off the back of an extremely successful year off the pitch for the Club.

During the 2022/23 campaign, we unveiled and rolled out our brand-new, state-of-the-art hospitality suites which have been enjoyed by record numbers of supporters on matchdays. Our new spaces have seen our hospitality numbers more than double, with six brand-new refurbished suites all proving hugely popular with our supporters.

Our digital and social media channels have seen record numbers of growth. Following a new strategy designed to increase engagement and interaction with our fan base. Projects include our club-produced documentary, ‘Nil Seven’, and embracing new platforms such as TikTok which has seen the Hibees become the third-largest Club in Scotland on social media.

Once again, we have been recognised for our commitment to championing sustainability in the workplace and our commitment to making Hibernian FC the 'Greenest Club In Scotland'. This is the second year in a row that we have been nominated for this award as we continue to explore new ways of moving towards a greener future.

The 2022/23 season also marked a milestone moment for the Hibernian Women’s team who were officially fully integrated within Hibernian Football Club. The Women’s team continued their progression with more and more players signing full-time professional contracts and, on the pitch, we broke our own domestic attendance record with over 8,000 supporters watching the Women’s Edinburgh Derby at Easter Road in November, 2022.
