DStv Uganda has reaffirmed its continued partnership as title sponsorship holders of Express FC as the countdown to the 2017/2018 season gets underway.
Addressing journalists at a press conference, Phoebe Nakabazzi, Marketing Manager DStv Uganda said, “We still have an active, running contract with Express FC following our sponsorship announcement last year in October. These first few months of the sponsorship have yielded so much fruit and opportunity for us as a brand. We are excited to continue on this journey with Express FC in boosting the team’s performance in the league”.
DStv was the first brand to take on sponsorship for Express FC since its inception in 1957, which has propelled the brand to attract more sponsors over the last few weeks.
Phoebe Nakabazzi added, “We were very clear with what our set objectives towards this sponsorship entailed. We are like-minded brands, with shared values to grow in the various sectors. As DStv our commitment to the development of sports in this country is unquestionable. We aim to make a contribution in nurturing talent and the growth of sports. The continuation and reiteration that we are still one with Express is important to us to solidify our confidence in Express as a team.”
Express FC Chairperson Florence Nakiwala Kiyingi thanked DStv Uganda for the effort rendered in the first season of the sponsorship. “I don’t take this partnership for granted and I would like to acknowledge your contribution in making Express a more amplified team. Without you we wouldn’t be where we are today!”
Nakiwala handed over a certificate of appreciation to the brand for the first season of sponsorship.
