After SportPesa's statement yesterday that they were not satisfied with Yanga's decision to sign a short-term sponsorship contract with Haier for the CAF Confederations Cup, the President of Yanga Engineer Said Hersi, said that discussions are ongoing between them and SportPesa
Hersi said Yanga respects SportPesa as the main sponsor of the club, they informed them of their decision to enter into an agreement with Haier knowing that CAF does not allow the sponsorship of betting companies from the group stage of their competitions
"We have detailed discussions with SportPesa who are our main sponsors. Yanga follows and respects all contractual procedures with SportPesa"
"Our talks were clear in signing the contract with Haier. We cannot use SportPesa in the CAF competition, so Yanga felt it could look for another short term sponsor"
"We have all the communication when we are working with them. But it is not good to make everything public. The operational procedures are going well and when we have finished everything we will come to make it public," said Said
SportPesa has demanded compensation from Yanga as they have the right on Yanga jersey for three years 2022-25
