Why your business will benefit from being involved
with Kafue Celtics Football Club...
Football in Zambia is continuing to grow in popularity as a sport for all ages and is one of the most family
friendly sports in the country.
Hi, my name is Benjamin Upalo Siwale and I have been involved with Kafue Celtics Football Club since 2018
as a Coach, committee member and PR Manager, I’m now celebrating my 2nd season at the club.
Kafue Celtics Football Club is one of the country’s leading producers of youth talent, increasing its youth
player-national team numbers by approximately 10% every year. We have a great history and reputation for
producing youth talent, playing fair and having great supporters.
Our club is located centrally in the region and one of the fastest growing sporting areas at the heart of Kafue.
Kafue Celtics Football Club offers great potential for your business’ exposure by association with our team. We
also focus on nurturing young athletes and this has been evident with the clubs success over the past 5 years.
Our club consistently produces great youth talent e.g Enock Mwepu, Patson Daka, Musonda Siame, Prosper
Chiluya, Nathan Sinkala, Chisamba Lungu, Jackson Mwanza etc. and has the potential to become the foremost
youth oriented football club in the country.
Media interest is strong with our club due to our ability to produce great youth talent.

We know from research that. . .
Sponsoring sports clubs can provide unique opportunities for businesses
and help them develop in ways that general advertising doesn’t. For
example, it may allow the sponsor to show off their capabilities in a way
audiences may otherwise not get to see.
Consumers are generally aware that official sponsors contribute to the
events or sports they love, and research shows that sports fans have a
more positive perception of event sponsors.
Sponsoring sporting clubs can help create loyalty towards the brand.
Sponsoring sports clubs can increase brand awareness.
Staff working for the sponsoring business may develop a sense of pride
and clients a sense of respect with the knowledge that the business is
supporting the community.
Sponsoring a sports club can help to grow community support and a
positive perception for the business.
Access for your brand to target your market
It’s Fun to actively support your local team.
These benefits for businesses can continue well after sponsorship.
Why invest in a sports club?
