adminon fees, players and technical staff allowances, kit and training equipment and the team’s accommodation expenses.
The partnership between Mambas and the bank started late last year when the team was fighting relegation.
Mambas had been left struggling for funding following the withdrawal of the Twalumba Holdings sponsorship.
BancABC are also the main sponsors of Premiership champions Dynamos.
BancABC country marketing director Cynthia Chinzwina said the bank was eyeing a long term relationship with Mambas.
“We are proud to be associated with Black Mambas.
“We came on board to help Warumwa Warumwa in the last six games of 2011.
“We have come here to pledge our continued support for the team as we unveil this US$150 000 package.
“We have supported two of the country’s biggest teams — Dynamos and Highlanders — but we would like to take this ambitious side to another level through our social responsibility,” Chinzwina said.
Mambas chairman Mekiya Tanyanyiwa was pleased with the gesture that the bank has shown.
“It is with great honour and pride that I stand before this congregation with this outmost appreciation and gratitude to be part of the Black Mambas family.
“We mark a special and historic event by our sponsor. Black Mambas is not just a team but a Police force outfit with a vision. Our aim is to become a football
powerhouse locally, regionally and internationally. We are committed to run professionally, transparently and become on top.
The guest of honour at the ceremony Deputy Commissioner General Levy Sibanda said the sponsorship would go a long way in re-branding the team.
“We strive on the stability of our members and this sponsorship by BancABC will go along way in buttressing “Warumwa Warumwa” operations.
