On January 14, 2020, football clubs in Mombasa received a boost from a partnership between betting firm Odibets and the Football Kenya Federation (FKF).
As part of the 'Odimtaani' programme, Odibets handed over playing kits to football clubs participating in the FKF County league at the Frere town grounds in Nyali constituency.
Odibets also pledged to provide 6 balls and other training equipment to the clubs, with the Western and Rift Valley regions set to benefit from the programme early next month.
According to OdiBets Country marketing manager Aggrey Sayi, the programme aims to nurture talents at the grassroots level, saying, 'I believe that Wanyama, Olunga and other good players playing abroad started at the grassroot level, therefore we believe that the next stars will come from here.'
FKF Mombasa chairman Gabriel Mughendi added, 'We as the federation will work with OdiBets in this project and make sure all the teams get playing kits and the grassroot talents are nurtured.'
