“This is a milestone for us and will help the league become more competitive this year. We are thankful for the Sponsorship and we hope our partnership lasts longer. You’ve made the right choice to come to us and we’ll give you the platform needed.” Said Humba.
The sponsorship comes a week after the company partnered with TNM Super League side, Mzuzu City Hammers where they have also pumped in K30 million including kits for the 2024 season.
