A source revealed that the package, that will be received in three installments, will be used to acquire new equipment for the club and improve the players’ welfare.
The first installment of sh15m will be handed over to the club chairman Brig. Hussein Ada at a press conference today.
The second and third installments of sh6.5m each will come in February and April respectively next year.
“This is a big boost. It will improve players welfare and also the team’s performance generally,†an official said.
