On December 2, 2019, Football Kenya Federation (FKF) sealed a lucrative sponsorship deal with a local betting firm, marking a significant milestone for the organization.
The deal, which will run for three years, aims to nurture and spot talent in the country, providing young and upcoming footballers with opportunities to showcase their skills at the top level.
FKF President Nick Mwendwa and the Federation have reportedly agreed on the deal, which is expected to have a positive impact on the growth of grassroots football in Kenya.
According to a source, the sponsorship will go a long way in supporting football in the country, and other corporates are likely to follow suit.
FKF CEO Barry Otieno confirmed the deal, stating that the finer details will be announced on Thursday, December 5, 2019, at a Nairobi Hotel.
Speaking on the deal, Otieno expressed happiness and optimism, saying, "It is true we have sealed another sponsorship with a betting firm but the finer details will be made public during the signing ceremony at a Nairobi Hotel on Thursday. We are very happy that at least for now, we are attracting sponsorship which has eluded the federation for some time."
