This partnership comes at a time when the NSL has been struggling to attract meaningful sponsorship since the exit of Bamba Sport in 2019
Leading gaming firm, Mozzart Bet Kenya Limited, has breathed life into the National Super League (NSL) after injecting more than Ksh 20 million ahead of the start of the 2025-2026 season.
The betting giant has teamed up with three ambitious clubs to support their activities in the forthcoming season.

The beneficiaries of the groundbreaking partnership are 3K FC from Embu, Migori Youth from the Kenya-Tanzania border, and Kisumu All Stars from the lakeside city of Kisumu.
Mozzart Bet will sponsor each club to the tune of Kshs 5 million, while also committing an additional Kshs 1 million for club merchandise over the next year.
The clubs will don Mozzart Bet and Mozzart Sport-branded jerseys, with the teams offering additional marketing avenues on match days.
This partnership comes at a time when the NSL has been struggling to attract meaningful sponsorship since the exit of Bamba Sport in 2019.
By the time Mozzart made its entry, only five clubs in the league had a stable income source, with the rest relying on fans and well-wishers just to honour fixtures.
The lack of financial stability has long cast doubts on the professionalism of the league over the years.
But now with Mozzart’s arrival, the number of financially stable clubs will skyrocket to nine.
For 3K FC, the sponsorship is historic, as the Embu-based side has never had a commercial partner since its inception.
The club, which plays its home games at Moi Stadium, Embu, is starting its second NSL season after earning promotion as champions of the FKF Division One in 2023/2024.
Known for attracting large crowds, the club averages 5,000 fans per home match.

Assistant coach Moses Munene, who has been with the club as a player before transitioning to the technical bench, described the partnership as transformational.
“This is a massive boost for the team and the players. For the very first time, our players will be on a payroll.
The community will rally behind us in every match, which spells good times for the club and Mozzart. Our ultimate goal is promotion,” Munene said.
Kisumu All Stars, popularly known as Otenga, have perhaps felt the pinch of lost sponsorship the most.
Based at Moi Stadium, Kisumu, the Eagles saw two promising seasons collapse after the County Government of Kisumu withdrew support.
The club, once on the verge of promotion in 2023/2024 and 2024/2025, was forced to dish out walkovers, derailing their return to the top tier.
Team Manager Rashid Ochieng believes Mozzart’s backing will inspire them back to the table of men.
Migori Youth and Kibera Black Stars, two of the NSL’s longest-serving sides, will also aim to build on the financial support and push for automatic promotion.
Both clubs have spent over eight seasons in the second tier, one of the toughest competitions in the country.
Migori Youth, who will shift from Migori Stadium to Awendo Green Stadium this season, are set to embark on their tenth NSL campaign.
Like Kisumu, their promotion bids have been repeatedly hampered by financial shortfalls that made it difficult to even pay players and honour assignments comfortably.
The Mozzart sponsorship is set to boost competition in the NSL, improve professionalism, and foster talent development.
More importantly, it raises hopes that other sponsors may finally be encouraged to invest in a league that has long been starved of financial support.
