In August this year, Star Times, a Chinese pay tv company announced a sponsorship deal for the Uganda Premier League and FUFA Big League worth US$7,240,000 (Shs28.1bn) for the next 10. The deal blocks all StarTimes’ direct competitors from sponsoring teams in the super league.
However, Express FC are in negotiations with Gotv to sponsor them for the 2018/19 season and new chairman Kiryowa ‘KK’ Kiwanuka has warned that the Red Eagles won’t be cowed into submission in respect to unprincipled discussions.
While it would be unfortunate for @StarTimesUganda to cancel the 10 year “deal” we shall not be cowed into submission in respect to unprincipled discussions. A problem actually exists and a solution should be sought. We @ExpressFCUganda do not take too well to threats.
