Nigeria’s professional football league longest standing front-of-shirt sponsor, Eunisell Limited, has renewed its front-of-shirt sponsorship with Rivers United Football Club for the 2020/21 season.
The renewal comes after Rivers United’s impressive start to the season in which the club has won its opening two matches and is on the verge of qualifying for the next round of the CAF Confederation Cup.
Chika Ikenga, Eunisell Group Managing Director, emphasised the importance of the company’s commitment to the future of professional football in Nigeria.
In a statement, the GMD noted that the company’s participation, through sponsorship, will not only benefit Rivers United and the team’s growing number of fans, but sets the standard for the private sector’s involvement in Nigeria’s national sport.
“Our participation, through sponsorship, will not only benefit Rivers United and the team’s growing number of fans but sets the standard for the private sector’s involvement in Nigeria’s national sport. Our vision from the outset has been to help lift the standard of professionalism in football here at home. That takes long-term financial commitment and time.”
“Port Harcourt is one of Eunisell’s principal markets and to be able to show visible and meaningful support for the local team, Rivers United, is important to us. A significant percentage of our staff and customers live in the oil and gas hub, so we are proud of our involvement and active support.”
