Football Kenya Federation Premier League side Police FC have received financial boost following a Ksh.1.5 donation from National Bank of Kenya.
The sponsorship according to a communique ‘will go towards enhancement of sporting activities within the club’.
The sponsorship is set to cater for the club’s travel and accommodation as well buying of new jerseys, training equipment – Bips, cones, training kits and other team’s requirements ahead of the 2024/2025 season.
Speaking during the check handover ceremony at the Police Sacco Stadium, NBK Managing Director George Odhiambo expressed the significance of the gesture remarking::
“Our partnership with Police FC is aimed at nurturing talent and enabling the team’s seamless participation in the local topflight league in line with our sports agenda, riding on the conviction that we have a role to support the communities where we operate from to achieve their dreams. This sponsorship will support the club’s current annual budget.”
The team, under the tutelage of Salim Babu, is currently third on the FKF PL standings with 54 points after 31 matches.
Police Fc lost their second successive league match Saturday losing 0-1 to Tusker Fc to fall further behind the title race.
They are 10 points behind leaders Gor Mahia with four matches to go.
However the team could still salvage their season when they play AFC leopards in their Mozzart Bet Cup semi-final on May 26th at Dandora Stadium.
“We are excited to partner with NBK in this noble course that will be crucial in facilitating our team. This sponsorship is a massive boost to the club, and it is my hope that we will fight for the Premier League and the FKF Cup titles. We have full confidence with our coach Salim Babu and his team for the consistency they have shown. We are also grateful to NBK for this support,” noted Police FC Chairman Bishop Fred Akama.
