KCCA FC’s partnership with CHINT began in 2022 and has been key in the club’s growth, particularly as the official lighting partner. The floodlights provided by CHINT at the MTN Omondi Stadium have made night football a reality, enhancing the fan experience and creating new opportunities for the club.
