BetPawa Reinforces Its Commitment to Rwandan Basketball
BetPawa has solidified its role as a key supporter of Rwandan basketball by confirming its sponsorship of the 2024 Rwanda Basketball League (RBL) season.
Holistic Support for Rwandan Basketball Competitions
The collaboration between betPawa and the Rwanda Basketball Federation (FERWABA) continues to grow, with betPawa maintaining its position as the official partner of the RBL playoffs. “We are thrilled to announce the upcoming betPawa Playoffs for the RBL24 season, a pivotal event that will showcase the incredible talent and competitive spirit of Rwandan basketball,” stated Desire Mugwiza, President of FERWABA.
At the heart of this partnership is a focus on the players, who drive the sport forward. The sponsorship covers the Division 1 National Basketball League, making betPawa the official partner for both the men’s and women’s leagues, as well as the playoffs, which feature teams like APR, Patriots, REG, and Kelper. The partnership also extends to All Star Basketball events and the Car Free Day 3×3 games.
BetPawa’s Chief Commercial Officer, Ntoudi Mouyelo, highlighted the importance of player rewards in this collaboration, particularly through the Locker Room Bonus (LRB) initiative. This unique program ensures that players from winning teams receive a 65,000 RWF bonus directly to their mobile wallets immediately after each match. “Our players are the heart of the game, and that is why as a brand, our focus on this partnership is player rewards,” said Mouyelo.
Expanding Support to Technical Staff
This year, the Locker Room Bonus has been expanded to include technical staff members of the eight teams participating in the playoffs, covering the head coach, first assistant coach, and second assistant coach or team manager. Additionally, the partnership offers a 3,000,000 RWF cash prize for the top three teams in both the men’s and women’s leagues, and a 2,000,000 RWF prize for the most valuable players (MVPs) of the betPawa Playoffs.
As the RBL24 season unfolds, Mugwiza encourages basketball enthusiasts to join in the excitement. “We invite all basketball fans to join us in celebrating the passion and excitement of the RBL24 betPawa Playoffs. Together we are driving the future of Rwandan basketball to new heights,” he said.
This continued partnership between betPawa and FERWABA is set to further elevate Rwandan basketball, providing tangible benefits to players and enhancing the overall experience for fans.
