TANZANIA's cricket big guns, Aga Khan SC, have got a massive boost in efforts to bolster the sport's promotion domestically following their acquisition of a shirt sponsor.

Aga Khan SC's officials revealed in Dar es Salaam early this week their outfit has marked a new chapter in its illustrious history with the announcement of a two-year sponsorship agreement with HAFELE East Africa Limited.

They disclosed that the collaboration, which sees the company as the official sponsor of the team’s matchday jerseys for 2025 and 2026, is a testament to the shared vision of excellence in both the corporate and sports arenas.

The partnership, they pointed out, celebrates the synergy between the company's commitment to providing high-quality hardware and fittings and Aga Khan SC’s dedication to nurturing young cricket talent in Tanzania.

The club noted that through such a partnership, the two entities aim to foster a culture of precision, teamwork, and innovation, reflecting their mutual pursuit of being the best in their respective fields.

Snehal Bakrania, Managing Director of HAFELE East Africa Limited, speaking at the unveiling ceremony, emphasized the alignment of values between cricket and the company.

“In cricket, players strive to improve their techniques and performance. Similarly, HAFELE continually innovates to stay ahead in the industry, delivering cutting-edge solutions," Bakrania disclosed.

"Today, we celebrate the rich history of the club and draw a parallel with the precision, teamwork, and innovation that HAFELE embodies,” he said.

The historic agreement was lauded by Ayzaz Jassani, Aga Khan SC’s long-standing leader and legend, who hailed the partnership as a crucial step toward a brighter future for the team.

“The values of both Aga Khan SC and HAFELE make them unique in their respective fields. Each player will wear this jersey with immense pride, reflecting the respect and integrity that define both brands,” Jassani stated.

 Vipin Abraham, Aga Khan SC's senior player, highlighted the importance of such collaborations.

“Partnerships like this allow the sport to grow and create a bright future for young cricketers who are the heart of Aga Khan SC's cricket activities,” he remarked.

The partnership between the two parties, the team stressed, is not just a sponsorship but a celebration of excellence and determination.

Aga Khan SC disclosed the collaboration is setting the stage for a promising future for the club and the company.
