LILONGWE-(MaraviPost)-The TNM Super League outfit, Kamuzu Barracks football club has signed a one-year kit sponsorship with Super Sakuwa Steel Limited company.

The ceremony took place on Friday at the Malawi Defence Force 94 Brigade headquarters, in the capital, Lilongwe.

Sakuwa will be responsible for the kit and rebranding. The company will also reward the player of the match with money amounting to MK100,000 and in case the team lose or draw, still there will be a token of appreciation of MK50,000 to the outstanding player.

The Kamuzu Barracks skipper, Herbert Wayekha says the gesture is a morale booster for the players.

“It has injected power in us and I will encourage my fellow players to continue working hard. Our mission this season is to emerge the Champions of the league”, said Wayekha.

Logistics and Distribution Manager at Super Sakuwa Company, Michael Valantini says the deal will increase their market base as Kamuzu Barracks is a big brand.

The Patron of Kamuzu Barracks FC Lieutenant Colonel Saul Chinkhombe described the sponsorship as timely as the club started the league without a new kit.

“This is a timely partnership you know Kamuzu Barracks is a big team, being in the Super League for almost two decades now. The coming in of Super Sakuwa has just energized our effort to do better in the Super League and other cups.

“We have been having partnerships in the past that never materialized but after seeing the MOU with Sakuwa. It is promising to be a good deal”, said Chinkhombe.

The Steel company will also be responsible for purchasing kits for Kamuzu Barracks Reserve and youth teams.

Kamuzu Barracks FC finished in fifth position in the 2023-2024 season and currently sitting in position eight in the 2024 -2025 season log table.
