Speaking during the agreement signing, MultiChoice Kenya Managing Director Eric Odipo said Wanyama is the ideal brand ambassador to represent Kenya as he represents the country both locally and internationally.
“We’re honoured to have a great football player like Wanyama to be the local ambassador of the overly anticipated world football games happening in Russia from next month. Victor Wanyama is great in his own right as a player, but also great in the sense that he is an iconic Kenyan football legend. Having Victor as the DStv ambassador shows our commitment towards playing a positive role in Africa to grow our local talent. We realize that it is only by creating value for our customers, our employees and society that we’ll build a successful business for the future,” said Mr Odipo.
Victor Wanyama, who currently plays for Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League expressed his delight and honour to have been named the DStv Ambassador for the FIFA World Cup on SuperSport.
Addressing the media, Victor said, “It is a humbling experience to be unveiled as the brand ambassador for the DStv FIFA Connect with Greatness campaign. My aim is to inspire other young people into the sport. Through platforms like DStv, I was able to achieve international recognition and finally play international football. As the World Cup begins in June, I would encourage young and upcoming footballers to see it as an inspiration to sharpen their skills and talents in an effort to one-day represent Kenya at the World Cup.” said an excited Wanyama.
