Tanzania.- Betting operator SportPesa<\/strong> has awarded Young Africans SC (Yanga SC)<\/strong> a bonus of TZS262.5m<\/strong> (\u20ac86,000) following the club\u2019s victory in the 2024\/25 Tanzanian Premier League<\/strong>. The award recognises Yanga SC\u2019s fourth consecutive title<\/strong> and its 31st league championship<\/strong> overall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bonus represents an important milestone in the long-standing partnership between the sports betting company and the club, which began in 2017<\/strong>. It follows SportPesa and Young Africans SC\u2019s three-year sponsorship<\/strong> renewal signed in August 2025<\/strong>, valued at TZS21.7bn <\/strong>(\u20ac7.1m). The agreement covers support for the men\u2019s team, the women\u2019s team, coaching development and club facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sponsorship arrangement has played a significant role in strengthening Yanga SC\u2019s competitive position both domestically and on the continental stage. Club officials have previously credited sustained commercial backing as a key factor in improving squad depth, infrastructure and youth development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SportPesa\u2019s continued investment also aligns with its broader strategy of supporting sustainable football development, combining commercial partnerships with initiatives that promote growth at club, community and youth levels.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Doreen Kwayu<\/strong>, Head of Operations at SportPesa Tanzania, said supporting football at all levels, from professional clubs to grassroots initiatives, remains central to the company\u2019s mission, adding that SportPesa is committed to driving ambition, creating opportunities and strengthening communities through the sport.<\/p>\n\n\n
