Speaking during the unveiling event, SportPeasa CEO Captain Ronald Karauri said the company had made the decision to come on board to support the team as a way of promoting football and sports in the country.
“We are passionate about sports and have committed to support where we can. Last week we opened a refurbished boxing ring in Umoja one and today we are here to support this ambitious football club,” he said.
As part of its sponsorship, SportPesa has been focusing on supporting community initiatives.
