Football Kenya Federation on Monday unveiled a local gaming firm as the Harambee Stars’ betting and motivation partner in a deal worth Sh5 million for the team’s next five matches in the month of March.

The monies will go towards the team preparations for friendly matches as well as Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Togo and Egypt.

FKF President Nick Mwendwa hailed the gaming firm for their continued support, while urging the Stars to put their best foot forward in the upcoming matches.

“Through this partnership, the partner has reiterated its support to Kenyan football development both at the grassroots and national level and for this, we say, Asante Sana,” he said.

“We have a chance to make a statement, not only in this month’s friendly matches and AFCON Qualifiers but also in the upcoming World Cup qualifiers, if we give it our all as a team,” he added.

Stars will kick off residential training on Wednesday, March 10, 2021, ahead of the matches.

First in line will be a friendly match against South Sudan on March 13 at the Nyayo Stadium, followed by back-to-back matches against Tanzania on March 15, and March 18, 2021. Stars will thereafter play in the final rounds of the 2022 Africa Cup of Nations Qualifiers against Egypt and Togo on March 25, and March 29, 2021.
