Sources reveal that BetPawa is gearing up to be the title sponsor for not just one, but three prestigious FUFA tournaments.
Betting and gaming giant BetPawa is on the verge of signing a significant partnership deal with the Federation of Uganda Football Association (FUFA).
Sources reveal that BetPawa is gearing up to be the title sponsor for not just one, but three prestigious FUFA tournaments.
The official announcement of this partnership is scheduled for Wednesday at a press conference in Kampala.
Pulse Sports had previously reported that Russian-owned IX Bet will pump significant cash into the three competitions, but latest information reveals it is actually BetPawa that have struck the partnership with the football federation.
Among the competitions set to receive a fresh boost is the FUFA Big League, the country's second-division football league.
The Big League has been lacking a title sponsor, making this potential partnership a game-changer.
If all goes as planned, the Big League might be referred to as the BetPawa FUFA Big League, marking an exciting new era for the league.
Meanwhile, media giants StarTimes will continue to hold broadcasting rights to the Big League, with matches showcased on FUFA TV and Sanyuka Prime.
Another tournament that will benefit from this collaboration is the FUFA Drum, an inter-province football bonanza that has played a significant role in popularizing football across Uganda.
Known for its captivating matches and intense rivalries, the FUFA Drum is set to gain a new level of prominence with this partnership.
The third competition in line for BetPawa's sponsorship is the Futsal Super League (FSL), which has been making waves since its inception in 2016.
This league, overseen by the Futsal Association of Uganda, has been steadily growing in popularity and stature.
As the FSL gears up for its eighth season, the support from BetPawa is set to further elevate the league's status.
