Gaming Firm SportPesa Resumes Sponsoring Football in Kenya

The firm had withdrawn all sponsorship in January 2018, citing heavy taxation. It will pump U.S.$2,5 million into the Kenyan Premier League Limited as title sponsors, while U.S.$690,000 has gone to the Football Kenya Federation in running the domestic cup, formerly known as GOtv Shield.
