Gusii club has been linked with a number of betting firms but identity of new partner remains closely guarded.

National Super League champions Shabana fc’s ascension to the FKF Premier League is getting more merrier after the Gusii club reached a multi-million-shilling agreement with a yet to be named shirt sponsor.

The club and new commercial partner are working out details of a public announcement of the deal which could be unveiled as soon as today.

Shabana has been linked with a number of betting companies in the weeks leading up to their triumphant end to the 2022/2023 NSL calendar and throughout the off season and now the club seems to have settled on one.

The only thing remaining is public unveiling but I can confirm that a deal has been reached and we are happy to be going back to the premier league with a commercial shirt sponsor. I don’t want to steal the thunder out of Shabana’s planned public event but I can confirm that a deal is in place,” one official disclosed

The club has a series of events planned ahead of their return to the FKF Premier League after nearly three decades of absence.

There was a bit of haggling over where the sponsorship deal is to be announced and which of the many politicians jostling for prominence to officiate.

The club has also recently put to rest the feisty scramble by politicians to be patron of Shabana with Kisii Governor Simba Arati coming out on top of a three-pronged challenge from veteran administrator Sam Nyamweya and Education Cabinet Secretary Ezekiel Machogu.

The duration of the deal is three years and the money is in the region of Sh40 million a year. It is a good deal that will help the club move forward and possible challenge for the title within a few seasons in the top flight. In less than 48 hours every detail will be public,” the overly excited official disclosed
