Incentivizing Performance
The sponsorship includes a Locker Room Bonus (LRB) scheme, where winning teams receive Sh1,235,000 per match, shared among players and technical staff. The total LRB for the season amounts to Sh232,180,000. Additionally, individual awards include Sh500,000 for Best Goalkeeper, Golden Boot, Best Defender, Best Midfielder, Young Player, and Best Coach.

Sustainable Growth
FAU Chairperson Hamza Junju praised the partnership, noting that it has transformed futsal into a real business. “We now have coaches analyzing opponents more deeply, players training harder, and teams fighting for every win,” he said.
