We also treasure Sports and are renowned for our Super Sport brand, therefore soccer is close to our heart. Our choice for sponsorship anchors on the legacy we both share as brands and the credibility Express FC is showcasing especially by the appointment of their new Chairman, Hon. Florence Nakiwala Kiyingi. I was delighted by the choice of a youthful leader and I know you are at an advantage of fresh and new ideas and a leadership with new strength. However DStv as a brand will not tolerate hooliganism and encourage the sport to be played in a spirit of fair play”
