St. Gabriel Medicals Football Club are expected to change its name to Namitete Zitha Football Club after securing sponsorship deal from Zitha Foundation, an international organization working with St. Gabriel Hospital.
The Chipiku Premier Division side confirmed the development to The Atlas through General Secretary Wellington Mzunga.
“Indeed we have secured sponsorship deal from Zitha Foundation so we have decided to adopt their name and we will be called Namitete Zitha FC” said Mzunga
Mzunga added that their partners have not revealed the sponsorship amount and other pertinent details.
“What we have been told is that they will be responsible for all expenses for the team but they didn’t come up with the amount they intend to pump in, they will be providing direct resources to the team” he added
He further said that the sponsorship will help them to accomplish their desire to get Super League promotion next season.
The 2022 CRFA Nyasa Capital Finance Champions have also confirmed changing their home ground for the upcoming 2023 season.
“we are moving from Namitondo to Namitete trading centre. This will help us to increase our fan base as the new venue is situated around the trading centre unlike Namitondo ground which is based in a very remote area and again far from the trading centre”
Since it’s establishment, the team has been run without sponsorship and was relying on the pockets of few individuals who works at St Gabriel Hospital.
