Onduparaka FC have parted ways with British online gaming company Betway after expiration of the contract, ending their two-year long partnership.
The Caterpillars published a statement about ending their partnership with the betting company;
“Onduparaka Fc would like to confirm that its Partnership with Betway has come to an end. We have enjoyed a two year partnership with the betting franchise that has helped us grow from glory to glory.
We would like to thank Betway for its invaluable support to the club and for having helped us to reach thus far. We have indeed been able to benefit immensely from Betway’s Football development strategy. We are optimistic that everything happens for a reason and Onduparaka FC will continue to enjoy its presence in the league and its partnership with other sponsors.
We wish Betway all the very best in the business and indeed hope that our paths cross in the future.
Onduparaka FC Management”
Betway started sponsoring Onduparaka in August 2016 after they gained promotion to the top tier of Ugandan football. They signed a one year sponsorship deal of up to a tune of Shs180 million, a contract which was later renewed in 2017 at cost of Shs600 million.
The West Nile club has so far played two seasons in the Ugandan Premier League, finishing fifth and fourth respectively. The reason for not renewing the contract this season remains unknown.
They will host SC Villa in the Semi-finals of the FUFA Pilsner Super 8 tournament at Green Light Stadium in Arua on Thursday.
