Boost for Shabana as they agree multi-million partnership with SportPesa
Shabana have sealed a three-year partnership with SportPesa ahead of their new FKFPL season.
Pamzo, however maintains that his charges are undeterred by the ban and will keep on playing as such.
“I cannot say much on the ban, but these are thing we are used to. We are used to adversity, and it will not affect how we play,” he told Pulse Sports.
“Our only regret is that we are returning to our historic stadium, and we will not have the fans with us. After eighteen years we would have hoped to have the fans in the stadium but that is not possible.”
The Gusii side will make their return to their historic stadium on Saturday, September 28 when they take on Posta Rangers, an added boost that the tactician welcomes.

Gor Mahia coach Leo Neiva shifts focus to title defence
FKF Premier League defending champions Gor Mahia are looking to kick-start their league campaign with a win against Mathare United after their CAF Champions League knock-out.
“You know for a very long time we have been playing our home matches in Homa Bay and that puts us at a disadvantage. We play our home matches away from home and so moving back to Gusii stadium is a very welcome,” expressed Pamzo.
Pamzo further fired a warning shot to the mailers as they travel to Gusii stadium.
“We have been a very different team this season. I can say we have improved from last season and even last sunday we conceded very late in the game but played very well and even in the game before that,” he added.
Shabana places 10th on the log having drawn in two games
