“It’s a revolving contract that will be renewed every season with the package increased every year however we can’t disclose how much it is in total,” Balunwa said. “It will be used for dressing up the teams, paying FUBA fees and course activations at the games throughout the entire league.”
Airtel will pay 60 million shillings for the entire season to all the first division teams that is the men’s and women’s league as FUBA seeks for sponsorship for the lower divisions.
