Gaming firm SportPesa has committed to financially bridge the national football team Harambee Stars in breaking their World Cup jinx in 2022. Stars have never qualified for the global tournament since it’s inception in 1930 and the firm which has been drumming up support for the team to seal a place in the 2022 edition set for Qatar has insisted on putting more efforts to achieve the milestone. SportPesa busted into the local football market in July 2015 as the official Kenya Premier League title sponsor after the expiry of the preceding three-year long league’s sponsorship deal with East African Breweries. The bookmaker outlined it’s blueprint of aiding the country in making it to the World Cup and identified the 2022 finals as their target as well as pushing the team to muscle for their return to the African Cup of Nations after 15 years in the cold.
