The new sponsor is Crown beverages. The deal is worth Ksh 50 million between now and 2019.<\/p>\n<p>Announcing the\u00a0 deal, Chairman Ambrose Rachier mentioned his commitment to take the club to greater heights.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have another new sponsor on board and this shows our commitment to helping Gor Mahia reach their targets for the 2016 season. As the office, we are committed to make Gor Mahia a branch and that is where we are headed to.&#8221;\u00a0 said Rachier to goal.com<\/p>\n<p>Crown Beverages is aiming to increase their market share in Kenya. Rachier has urged the fans to rally behind the team and this sponsor. Which means next time you buy beer, buy a crown beverages product.<\/p>\n<p>Having two sponsors, while uncommon in the major European leagues like England and Italy, is very common in lesser leagues including France and Sweden.<\/p>\n<p>Now its up to fans to pressure for structural changes that will how this team is run. Rather than have an EC whose roles are not clearly defined, Rachier should hire competent professionals to run the non-football aspects of the team.<\/p>\n<p>One of the first things Rachier should do is to get the team its own training ground. He has been promising a stadium since 2008 yet a more realistic goal is to get a simple training ground as a starting point.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/news\/gor-mahia-adds-second-jersey-sponsor\/\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground:  !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 100% !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After closing a sponsorship deal with betting company Sportpesa, Gor Mahia have netted a second jersey sponsor.
