Alongside the launch of the website, the Ostriches also unveiled a five-year merchandise deal with Umbro.

Also, Sethoko said the new season’s merchandise would offer the club an opportunity to identify with its sponsor.

The step taken, he said was in the right direction with the Confederation of African Football Club licensing requirements.

He said active involvement and participation of stakeholders was critical in the club’s growth.

Sethoko noted that achievements did not mean absence of challenges,  hence  challenges such as losing key players, disputes and financial constraints should not deter them.

The club chairperson, Kagiso Mogocha stated that the occasion signified growth in the club and further demonstrated the path they were headed for with regards to professionalising their business.

Mogocha indicated that the website launch was an opportunity to get the club closer to its supporters, well-wishers and key stakeholders nationally, regionally and internationally.

The event, he said would serve as a morale booster to liven the club’s environment coming out of dull moments football had been through due to COVID-19. ENDS
