In a spectacular show of passion, talent, and community spirit, the Ann Too Ladies’ Football Tournament lit up Kericho’s Kiprugut Stadium—culminating in a grand finale where Kipchebor Starlets claimed victory in a nail-biting penalty shootout against Kapngetuch Queens. But beyond the electric energy on the pitch, one partner stood out for going the extra mile to make it all happen—JamboBet.
A Partner That Cares: JamboBet’s Commitment to Community Development
As the cheers echoed through the stadium, it wasn’t just the goals that were being celebrated—it was the power of unity, opportunity, and support. JamboBet Mtaani, known for powering dreams, stepped up as a key partner of the Ann Too Ladies’ Tournament, not only providing financial backing but offering tangible support where it was needed most.
From providing full team kits, jerseys, training bibs, and branded football boots, to ensuring every team had proper gear, JB became more than a sponsor—it became a pillar of hope for the young women of Ainamoi Sub-County.
“Some of these players came with just the will to play and nothing else. Seeing them fully kitted, playing with pride, was so emotional,” said Ivy, a local fan who followed every matchday. “JamboBet really touched our hearts.”
24 Teams. One Dream. One Million Reasons to Play.
The tournament brought together 24 competitive teams, each fueled by the desire to win not just bragging rights, but a share of the generous prize pool. The tension reached fever pitch in the finals as Kipchebor Starlets edged out Kapngetuch Queens 5–4 on penalties, after a 1–1 full-time draw, securing the championship and Sh1,000,000 in prize money. Kapngetuch Queens took home Sh300,000 for their valiant performance, while third-place finishers Koibeiyon FC were rewarded with Sh150,000.
“The jerseys and football gear from JamboBet gave our girls confidence. They looked and felt like pros. That motivation helped us push through to the final,” said Fancy, another ecstatic fan supporting Kipchebor.
Ann Too and JamboBet: A Game-Changing Partnership
Betting Control and Licensing Board (BCLB) Director Ann Too shared her ambitious vision for the future of women’s football during the closing ceremony, highlighting the role of strategic partnerships like that with JamboBet.
“We hope to host tournaments like this every year and attract more sponsors. JamboBet has already done a great job with sporting gear donations and dressing the teams. This is just the beginning,” she stated.
Too also revealed that discussions were underway to create long-term collaborations to sponsor players, organize international trips, and develop stronger grassroots football structures for women across Kenya.
A Tournament with Impact Beyond the Pitch
The Ann Too Cup was more than just a sports event—it was a platform for empowerment and transformation. For many of the women—some mothers, farmers, and first-time footballers—it became a doorway to rediscovering their confidence, identity, and potential.
“This tournament has opened doors and minds. Women who had never worn football boots or kicked a ball now believe in themselves,” Too emphasized.
What Fans Are Saying
“I’ve never seen such support from a brand before. JamboBet didn’t just show up—they showed they care,” shared Fancy.
“It’s the first time our team had matching kits. JamboBet gave us pride,” said Ivy.
A Champion of the People
JamboBet’s role in the Ann Too Ladies Football Tournament showcases its genuine commitment to uplifting communities through sport. By investing in local talent, providing equipment, and supporting grassroots events, JB continues to prove that betting brands can play a pivotal role in social development.
As the dust settles on an unforgettable tournament, one thing is clear—with JamboBet, communities win both on and off the pitch.
