NEC football club has signed transformative two-year sponsorship agreement with OPPEIN, valued at UGX 0.2 billion in the first year, with expectations of increased value in the second year.
This renewable partnership establishes OPPEIN as the Official Shirt Sponsor of NEC FC, marking a significant milestone as the club prepares for its inaugural continental appearance in September.
This two years agreement aligns their rising ambitions with OPPEIN’s commitment to excellence. OPPEIN’s iconic logo will feature prominently on the front of their match-day jerseys (home, away and third), and training kits alongside digital platforms, match-day signage, and exclusive club merchandise.
The deal includes premium hospitality benefits, ensuring OPPEIN is at the heart of the NEC FC experience. Additionally, OPPEIN will enjoy further visibility through website branding, social media, and on the pitch-side advertising boards during matches.
At the signing of the agreement between NEC FC and OPPEIN, the Chairman NEC FC; Eng. Brian Buhanda had this to say; “NEC and Chint crossed paths way back, ten years ago. As the General Manager of NEC Construction Works and Engineering, a subsidiary of NEC, a government parastatal, I can say our customers love Chint’s electrical products.”
Through our organization, we’ve built a strong bond with Chint, whose quality products have made us cross paths in a meaningful way. As a corporation, NEC decided to form a football club, NEC FC, on its own. Though not so old, NEC FC has had a very great journey on the football platform in our country.
Through our engagement with Chint, a stakeholder in the supply of electrical and quality products, we introduced ourselves to them, and it’s through them that they introduced us to Oppein, who are football lovers, to be part of our engagements at NEC FC. A global giant like Oppein certainly brings a lot of attributes to our club.
At NEC FC, we love consistency, we love innovation, and that’s what we aspire for. Having such great brands as partners is one of the pillars we feel we should hinge on. Oppein is big as far as furniture is concerned and has stood the test of time in China and in the world. We really feel and think that us bonding together with them will bring that attitude to NEC FC.
It’s our aspiration to work with brands like Oppein. Through our cooperation with Oppein, we feel that a lot of innovation and quality products will be exposed to our players and the NEC family. Oppein has brought more quality products to our local market, making China so near to us today.”
