Eng. Brian Buhanda, the NEC FC chairman expressed gratitude for the sponsorship, adding it was long over-due as OPPEIN adds the quality they had been yearning for a long time.

It’s a beautiful day for NEC FC as we officially unveil OPPEIN as our principal shirt sponsor. OPPEIN is our first-ever official shirt sponsor, it’s not that we didn’t have offers, but we needed a partner with whom we could build a long-standing relationship. Indeed, OPPEIN brings on board the quality we’ve been looking for. Our assurance to our sponsor is this: We’re committed and ready for whatever it takes to become a big brand as far as Ugandan football is concerned. The partnership between NEC FC and OPPEIN is a strategic alliance that brings together two organizations with a shared commitment to excellence.
