Football Kenya Federation Division One side GFE 105 believe a Sh3m Betika boost will inspire their quest for promotion to the National Super League next season.
The package is a three-fold increase from last season's deal.
The deal entitles the club to new playing kits—home, away and a third alternative — and balls, ensuring the Eldoret-based outfit is ready for the upcoming season.
GFE 105’s chairman Shem Mburu said: “With the new kits and increased financial support, we are confident that we can build on last season's performance and work towards reclaiming our place in the NSL."
He considers the club lucky.
"Securing consistent and substantial sponsorship for grassroots football teams in Kenya presents a considerable challenge. Many talented players and teams struggle to reach their full potential due to financial constraints and limited resources.”
Betika senior brand manager Eric Mwiti said: "We recognise the transformative power of sports in enhancing lives and fostering community connections. We are proud to contribute to the development of football in Kenya.”
“Having joined the campaign midway through last season, we are pleased with the team's performance and remain optimistic that, with this additional support, they will be well-equipped to strengthen their competitiveness and pursue promotion,” he added.
GFE 105 finished third in Division One Zone 'B' last season, thus failing in their bid for second-tier football.
They join Kenyan Premier League sides AFC Leopards and Kenya Police in the Betika umbrella.
