Boosting the launch of Victor Chandler’s new sportsbetting brand Bet Lion Uganda (see previous reports), the Federation of Uganda Football Associations (FUFA) has agreed a five-year, “multi-billion Ugandan shilling” sponsorship deal with the operator, specifically for the Ugandan national football team, The Cranes.
BetLion will launch a weekly The Cranes 13 selection Jackpot offering a Ug.shs 150 million (GBP30,000) prize for the price of Ug.shs 3000 (60p) per entry.
Edgar Watson, FUFA CEO:
“This is yet another landmark feat for Uganda’s Football. As a federation, we are honoured to have Bet Lion Uganda on board among the many of our sponsors.
Oliver Bates group CEO of Bet Lions Uganda:
“This long term partnership with the Uganda Cranes is to support local sport with the aim of reaching the 2022 FIFA World Cup. We have partnered with a well run organization and look forward to supporting their vision.”
