That narrow victory took their points tally to 14 from 16 games &#8211; a dismal campaign that has seen the once-mighty Glamour Boys teetering near the relegation zone.<br \/>\nDespite their poor form, the enduring power of the Dynamos brand shone through, culminating in a deal that will see Sport De Vitara supply the club with training kits, match-day gear, travel attire, and fan replicas. The partnership officially takes effect in January next year.<br \/>\nSport De Vitara, which also outfits Ghanaian giants Hearts of Oak, has now added Zimbabwe&#8217;s most successful club to its growing African portfolio that includes outfits in Egypt and other countries.<br \/>\nThe deal is also a culmination of a promise made in 2023 by Pakistan&#8217;s Ambassador to Zimbabwe, Murad Baseer, who donated customised footballs and other equipment to Dynamos at the time.<br \/>\nSpeaking at the signing ceremony, Ambassador Baseer expressed delight in bringing the partnership to life.<br \/>\n&#8220;We have finally managed to bring a Pakistan company that specialises in manufacturing unique sports goods,&#8221; he said. &#8220;This is just the first step. Dynamos is a great club with a massive following, and this agreement brings joy to the entire institution.&#8221;<br \/>\nSport De Vitara chairman Asim Ijaz Malik was equally thrilled about the collaboration, crediting Baseer for initiating the engagement.<br \/>\n&#8220;I&#8217;m happy to be here. I am sure Dynamos fans and players will be excited too,&#8221; said Malik. &#8220;It&#8217;s a great honour for us to partner with such a historic club. Thanks to His Excellency Ambassador Baseer, we are now in Zimbabwe &#8211; a beautiful country &#8211; through Dynamos.&#8221;<br \/>\nThe deal was signed in the presence of Dynamos board chairperson Bernard Marriot Lusengo and the club&#8217;s full executive, including chairman Moses Maunganidze, who described the partnership as a key milestone in the club&#8217;s off-field transformation.<br \/>\n&#8220;As executive chairman, I am more than happy, especially on a day when we also celebrated a win on the field,&#8221; said Maunganidze. &#8220;We have set ourselves clear goals, and this partnership ticks a very important box. We are working to make Dynamos big again.&#8221;<br \/>\nHe added that replicas will soon be available to supporters, promising a new era of professionalism and commercial growth for the Harare giants.<br \/>\nThe partnership, beyond branding, is expected to help improve Dynamos&#8217; image, player morale, and financial standing &#8211; offering a rare glimmer of optimism for fans in a season where victories have been few and far between.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/zimbabwe\">Zimbabwe<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zimbabwe.
