NAIROBI, Kenya, Oct 8 – National football team Harambee Stars have received a financial boost of Sh3mn after betting firm MozzartBet was unveiled as the motivational partner ahead of Sunday evening’s World Cup qualifier against Mali in Nairobi.

FKF President Nick Mwendwa thanked Mozzart Bet for their support.

“Thank you for believing in Kenyan football, and for believing in the Harambee Stars. Mozzart started their support even before the game against Mali in Morocco and through their help we were able to comfortably take the team there. We lok forward to a great partnership,” FKF boss Nick Mwendwa said.

“We did not get the result we wanted in Agadir but I believe in this team, I know its potential and I am sure better results are on the way. We have a chance to make a statement in the remaining matches, and I am confident that we can get a positive result in the end if we give it all as a team,” he added.

Captain Michael Olunga was also delighted with the support saying it will motivate the players to give their all in the three remaining matches.
