HIGHLANDERS have paid tribute to their principal sponsors Sakunda Holdings who will present them with their kits for this season in Harare today.
Dynamos, who are also bankrolled by the same company, will also get their new kit today.
Sakunda Holdings have been oiling Bosso and DeMbare for the past three seasons and have spent millions supporting the two iconic football brands.
The sponsorship covers salaries for the technical team, players and those in the secretariat.
“This is our fourth year in the relationship with Sakunda Holdings and, as Highlanders, we are very much grateful to them,” said Bosso secretary-general Morgen Dube.
“You could see that we were at the moment using our last season’s BTO Looks kit but the deal expired at the end of last season.
“So, that switch from BTO Looks to Adidas meant that we could not get our order in time before the start of the 2024 season.
“However, we are happy that everything is now in place.”
He added:
“The joint unveiling event of our full kits with Dynamos will be held in Harare tomorrow (today) morning at Sakunda Holdings offices.
“The kits are an Adidas brand which our sponsors bought for us.
“It will be three traditional sets of kits, that is home, away and optional kits. We will also get bibs and travelling kits.
“So, it’s basically a full package.”
Adidas is the largest sportswear manufacturer in Europe, and the second largest in the world, after Nike. Highlanders will travel to Ngezi this weekend for a tough battle against champions Ngezi Platinum.
“Yes, they have had a bad start but they are the defending champions. They have not started well,” said Highlanders coach Kelvin Kaindu.
“We have so much respect for them. We will focus on the way we want to play and not on the way they are playing,” said Kaindu.
