It is a Tsh.2 billion contract which has never happened before in Tanzania, Kenya even in South Africa. Vunjabei understands the value of this contract and it is the reason why they have decided to manufacture kits and merchandise for our junior, women, and senior teams. Last season, we were making just Tsh.100 million from the same deal with a different company, but it has skyrocketed to Tsh.2 billion and it shows how big our brand is, how far we have grown. We had 11 companies battling for this deal including Umbro and Adidas, and a certain company from the Netherlands but Vunjabei convinced us. They had a better deal and we chose to work with them.
Goal on Monday. The league is not like a knockout competition, it is a marathon and is still very open for any team to win once it resumes. So far, it has been competitive and everything has been going on well.
The 2016 league s Most Valuable Player (MVP) was demoted from his captaincy role with Harun Shakava taking the armband. He refused to comment on the issue but insisted he has always given his best to the team despite the outcome in respective games. All my games have been good and I have always given 100% even in the matches we have lost this season, Muguna continued.
Goal on Monday. We never praise and talk positively of our own. We must value them and they will do their best on the pitch. For instance, those who were given a chance in the [Afcon] qualifiers against Egypt and Togo proved a point. They should be given chances and should not be overlooked.
Okoth further added his opinion on what our teams should do to emulate Tanzania Mainland League champions Simba SC who made it to the quarter-finals of the Caf Champions League.
Wekundu wa Msimbazi finished top of Group A with 13 points, two more than defending champions Al Ahly. AS Vita finished third with seven points while Al Merrikh finished bottom of the group with just two.
Millions of supporters and fans out here believe and know that we are winners, Kagere said in a pre-match presser. Football is a game played in public and on the pitch. So when we say it is a do-or-die clash, we mean it is going to happen on the pitch. We need a win and all we want to do is to complete the massive work the coach has done for us. We are going to give our best and I believe we will get a positive outcome.
The former Gor Mahia striker has further explained why he is not expecting an easy game on Friday.
