In a video posted and circulating on Facebook, Secretary General Elizaphan Kerama revealed that the Glamour Boys generated Ksh5 million from jersey sales during the previous campaign.
The merchandise initiative gained momentum following the club’s sponsorship deal with a gaming firm, struck at the beginning of last season.
“Since we started selling official jerseys last season, we managed to collect Ksh 5 million,” Kerama disclosed, describing the milestone as a crucial step in strengthening the club’s financial independence.
According to the administrator, the funds raised played a direct role in Shabana’s busy transfer activity during the off-season window.
The club invested heavily in player recruitment and logistics, bringing in a total of 14 new signings to reinforce their squad ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.
The arrivals include the experienced KCB FC trio of Victor Omondi, Derrick Otieno, and Daniel Kiprono, former Nairobi City Stars duo Wycliffe Omondi and Gilbert Abala, as well as Dan Musamali from Bidco United and Eric Otieno from FC Talanta.
Others are Byron Otieno from Kariobangi Sharks, David Odoyo from Tusker FC, and youthful additions such as David Obasanjo and Caleb Omondi from Kisumu All Stars, alongside a capture from Gor Mahia.
The list also features Henry Obino from Murang’a Seal, Brian Olega, and Ugandan striker Nsumbuga Bronson.
Kerama emphasised that every shilling from merchandise sales went squarely into team budgeting, specifically on transfer fees, player welfare, and logistical operations.
He described the move as a deliberate effort to bridge the resource gap that has often constrained community-based clubs like Shabana.
"The proceeds from the jersey sales have gone directly to team budgeting, which was squarely used in player buying during the transfer window and the logistics surrounding the entire period,” he explained.
Kerama further issued a passionate rallying call to fans, urging them to continue supporting the club by buying authentic jerseys rather than counterfeit replicas.
“I want to urge our supporters to buy legit Shabana jerseys so that we can generate more revenue for the club.
Fake jerseys only benefit individuals outside the team, and that denies us the resources needed to grow,” he remarked.
