The team also unveiled its new football kit. In their media briefing statement, Swallows FC stated that Maluti<\/p>\n<p>Wool and Mohair Center will sponsor its activities for 2020\/2021 VPL while Secret Lounge will run some of their daily activities. The club\u2019s Management expressed<\/p>\n<p>delight over the partnership, and thanked their esteemed partners for their gesture, they pledged that they will do their utmost best to play their part as<\/p>\n<p>partners. Also addressing the media at the partnership launch ceremony, Swallows FC Manager Mosa Seoli introduced the management team and indicated that things would not be possible without them.<\/p>\n<p>He said they have reached an agreement with the duo to assist the team and they are honored and privileged to partner with these giants. \u201cFrom now onwards we will be working together<\/p>\n<p>as a team, we are going to make a good, healthy and long lasting partnership that will not end but grow bigger. Our responsibility as a club is to make sure<\/p>\n<p>that we give them what they want for the benefit of their businesses. Our plan as a team is to offer them mileage for their businesses,\u201d Seoli said. Maluti Wool and Mohair Center<\/p>\n<p>Managing Director (MD) David Telford stated that the center will sponsor the team with money for transport and other related matters and has already provided a new \u201cKappa\u201d football kit for away matches.<\/p>\n<p>He said they will also assist the team on a number of challenges it is facing, like losing the club\u2019s affiliates to other teams in search for other opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur plan is not to work with the team for the period of one year; we also want to develop the women football within the team.<\/p>\n<p>The reason I am saying this is because women football is becoming more and more important all over the world and when you have good women in your club, you have a good foundation to build on.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, in the next 3 to 5 years we need to safely make a decent football club that we will be proud of,\u201d Teleford noted. Secret Lounge Director Teboho<\/p>\n<p>Motsamai said the intention of Secret Lounge is to bring back to the community of Mazenod. \u201cSecret Lounge has ultimately got the opportunity to sponsor Swallows<\/p>\n<p>FC and we are very grateful that our plan will be fulfilled. In that way the Lounge shows its appreciation to the community of Mazenod at large for the support they have shown,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/lesotho\">Lesotho<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Lesotho.
