The three-year deal, worth Sh21 million, will see STAG provide a wide range of high-quality table tennis equipment to KTTA through 2028.
The globally renowned brand, which has a strong presence across Europe and Asia, will further supply branded attire, tables, bats, balls, rubbers, shoes and surrounds, enhancing Kenya’s table tennis infrastructure.
