“Support one another. Trust one another and be resilient during the games. Respect decisions made by the technical bench and we will have synergy that is necessary for a great win,” the MD added.
On top of their sponsorship, the team stand to receive Ksh 1 million should they reach the semis and a further Ksh 2 million, if they progress to the finals.
The MD further promised a bigger surprise should the girls win the tournament.
Head coach Geoffrey Sang revealed that they have started residential training at the Moi International Sports Centre (MISC), Kasarani ahead of final selection.
