Vomoz Mobile,
one of the largest Telecommunication retailing Service company in
America has joined other brands to partner with Gold Cup Pre-season tourney to support the organisers with cash and awards for outstanding
players.
The telecoms firm will take full responsibility for the Man of the
Match, Most Valuable Player and Highest Goal Scorer Awards with cash
incentives. This is a pipeline of investment that would redefine local
football development, fans' participation and sponsorship across the
country and African continent.
Olatoye Olawale, Vomoz Mobile representative said in an
interview after the partnership agreement in Lagos on Thursday; "We
thought it a way of giving back as one thing that unites Africa is sport
with the major one being football.
"So Vomoz Mobile
as an indigenous American company has found out that it can facilitate
bringing in foreign investment to sponsor football in Nigeria and Africa
at large," Olatoye said.
He added, "Also,
we want to invest in African sports because, 95% of our customers in
America are Africans and they're using our services.
"People don't
know they can actually sponsor event back home and they're not going to
do it until they see a formidable company like Vomoz Mobile do stuffs in
Nigeria, then they will become interested."
Generelal
Coordinator of the tourney, Tunde Shamsudeen, said; "This gesture from
Vomoz Mobile is commendable, it shows that Nigerians in the diaspora
still follow our domestic league.
"I hope to see more of their participation in subsequent editions."
Ekiti State will host this year's edition from Thursday November 15 through Saturday November 24, 2018.
