FKF Premier League giants Shabana FC are reportedly on the verge of securing a new shirt sponsorship deal ahead of the 2026/2027 season, a move that could significantly strengthen the club’s financial position and support its long-term ambitions.

According to sources familiar with the ongoing discussions, negotiations between the club and a potential new sponsor are already at an advanced stage. The proposed agreement is expected to replace the current partnership with SportPesa, which has been the club’s main shirt sponsor in recent seasons.

The development comes at a crucial time for the Glamour Boys, who have recently been grappling with increasing financial demands as they continue rebuilding into a competitive force in Kenyan football.

Beyond first-team operations, the club has also been investing heavily in its youth structures, including Shabana Youth and Shabana Starlet FC, a project aimed at nurturing women’s football talent in the Gusii region.

Like many clubs in the FKF Premier League, Shabana has had to balance match-day expenses, player welfare, transport logistics and administrative costs while trying to remain competitive on the pitch.

Currently, SportPesa is believed to sponsor the Gusii-based club with approximately KSh25 million per season, making it one of the notable sponsorship deals in Kenyan football.

Supporters will be hoping the incoming partnership, if finalized, can inject fresh stability into the club and help management achieve bigger goals both on and off the field.

The sponsorship discussions also reflect Shabana’s growing commercial appeal, driven largely by the club’s passionate fanbase, improved league performances and strong match attendance figures that continue to make the team one of the most followed sides in the country.

For many fans, the possibility of a bigger and more stable sponsorship deal signals hope for a brighter future — one where the club can strengthen its squad, improve player welfare and continue investing in youth development.

As anticipation builds, supporters now wait eagerly for an official announcement from the club regarding what could become one of the biggest off-field moves ahead of the new FKF Premier League season.
