Athletics Kenya secured a multi-million sponsorship from betting firm to support events throughout the 2024/25 season.
Athletics Kenya has landed a major financial boost from a local betting firm ahead of the 2024/25 Athletics Kenya weekend meetings and remaining editions of the cross-country series.
The firm has pumped a tune of Ksh 15 million to cover the cost of organising both events and will also cater to the national championships scheduled for next year.
This partnership comes in handy for AK since track and field is one of the most successful events in the country and having financial support is very crucial to making the events a success.
