communities. By combining Gor Mahia’s extensive supporter base and
national reach with Spiro Kenya’s commitment to advancing electric
mobility, the two organisations aim to create meaningful opportunities

transportation and its contribution to Kenya’s economic and
environmental future.

Kenya, said the partnership reflects the company’s commitment to
engaging Kenyans through platforms that have a strong and lasting
presence in communities across the country.
“Football has an unmatched ability to connect people, communities and
ideas. Gor Mahia’s reach and influence make the club an ideal partner as
we continue expanding conversations around electric mobility in Kenya.
As Gor Mahia’s Official Electric Mobility Partner, we look forward to
engaging supporters across the country, increasing awareness of electric
mobility solutions and demonstrating how electric mobility can support
everyday livelihoods and economic growth.”
The partnership is expected to create value for both organisations. For

football audiences in East Africa while increasing awareness of electric
mobility solutions. For Gor Mahia, the collaboration strengthens the
club’s commercial partnerships and supports its efforts to enhance
supporter engagement, broaden its connection with communities and create
new avenues for interaction with its supporters.
Throughout the season, Spiro Kenya and Gor Mahia will collaborate on a
range of supporter engagement and public awareness initiatives delivered

activities will provide opportunities to engage supporters across the
club’s platforms while increasing awareness of electric mobility and
sustainable transportation solutions. The partnership will also leverage
Gor Mahia’s matchday and digital platforms to foster deeper engagement
with supporters and communities throughout the season.

partnership represents an important step in the club’s efforts to
strengthen its commercial partnerships while creating new opportunities

reflects the growing role of football as a platform for community
engagement and innovation.

the club has connected communities, inspired young people and brought
supporters together through a shared passion for football. We are
pleased to welcome Spiro Kenya into the Gor Mahia family and look
forward to a partnership that not only supports the club but also helps
