On Thursday, October 31, 2019, Betway Kenya announced its partnership with Kariobangi Sharks, a Kenyan football club based in Nairobi, as its official sponsor. The announcement was made during a launch at the Utalii Sports Grounds.
The Kariobangi Sharks Football Club, commonly known as Sharks or K. Sharks, is a Kenyan football club based in Nairobi and was founded in the slums of Kariobangi. The team plays in the Kenya Premier League, the top tier of the Football Kenya Federation.
Stemming from a less privileged community, the Kariobangi Sharks have shown exceptional talent and professionalism to rise through ranks of the National Super League and earn promotion to the Kenya Premier League.
"The organisation and skillset portrayed by the Kariobangi Sharks team served as an attraction for us and the professionalism portrayed by its management was convincing enough for us to make a decision to come in as the official sponsor of the team," said Betway Kenya Country Manager, Leon Kiptum.
As part of the partnership, the new Kariobangi Sharks jersey with the Betway logo was unveiled. Betway continues to improve on sports entertainment and recently announced that it has partnered with Tottenham Hotspur as the official betting partner.
