“The sponsorship is big motivation to the players. We will make sure that we support Premier Bet by using its products,” Mpambila said.
He also hailed Football Association of Malawi (Fam) and Super League of Malawi (Sulom) for facilitating the deal.
Fam President Fleetwood Haiya, while commending the company, urged Dynamos to run the team as a business entity.
“They need to be serious on issues of corporate governance. Secondly, they must also do well and support Premier Bet,” Haiya, who graced the event alongside Sulom executive committee member Akuzike Kafwamba, said.
Dedza had been without sponsors after the expiry of their contract with Salima Sugar Company Limited at the end of last season. The agreement package between Dedza and Salima Sugar was pegged at K48 million for one season.
Dedza have started the 2024 season on a low as they are 13th on the log table with three points, having lost one match and drawn thrice in four matches.
