Kenyan Premier League football club, Sofapaka, popularly known as ‘Batoto Ba Mungu’ can breathe a sigh of relief after the leading sports betting firm Betika renewed their sponsorship contract in a two-year deal worth Sh77 million.

This is an increase from the 15m initial sponsorship given by the firm in 2017/2018 and the 35m given in 2019. The deal will be a shot in the arm for the club, who like many others in the league have suffered from financial constraints in recent seasons.
