Betting company Betin came to the rescue of national team Harambee Stars as they prepare for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations tournament with a mega-sponsorship deal.
The deal, worth Sh20 million will take care of the team's basic needs, with Sh5 million set aside for team's kits while the remaining Sh15 million spread over various uses including players' allowances, and the camping in France.
Fans will also get the chance to don the adored team's replica Jerseys, as this is also inclusive in the deal.
The betting firm saved Stars from an impending disgrace as the team prepares to grace the African tournament for the first time in 15 years.
The team, under the stewardship of a French coach Sebastian Migne, qualified for the continental showpiece with a match to spare and will be going for the last match against Ghana, whom they recorded a historic 1-0 victory against last year.
With three months to the tournament, Football Kenya Federation has planned a three-week-long camp in France before traveling to Egypt, the host country.
Harambee Stars travel to Ghana on the 23rd of March for the return leg which is a dead rubber match since both teams have already qualified for the finals.
Coach Migne will miss the services of prolific striker Michael Olunga when the team takes on Ghana, who is nursing a hamstring injury, with his place taken by Zesco's all-time top scorer Jesse Were.
