After a good run in the Football Kenya Federation Premier League which has seen AFC Leopards turn their season around, the club, is now shifting focus on doing well in the Mozzart Bet Cup.The league takes a break this weekend to pave way for Cup action, with Ingwe taking on FKF Division One side Zetech Titans in the round of 32.Ingwe last won the competition in 2017 when they beat Kariobangi Sharks 2-0 and will head to this year’s encounter looking to punch a ticket to continental football.Mozzart Bet Kenya announces Ksh 60 Million sponsorship for the FKF CupAccording to coach Patrick Aussems, the Cup competition is equally important as it serves a relatively shorter route to playing at the continental level.The winner gets to represent the country in the CAF Confederation Cup with the league champion participating in the CAF Champions League.”Now we play the cup and it is also a big competition. With the Cup, after only five games you can play in the continental competitions and that is what we are focusing on now. We are really improving collectively with our playstyle as well as our aggressiveness,” Aussems said.If Ingwe make it out of the Round of 32, they will face off with either Murang’a Seal or Luanda Villa in the last sixteen, and a triumph there will set up a quarterfinal clash with either Administration Police, Bandari, Mwatate United, or Coastal Heroes.##NAJAVA_MECA_7060500##There is a possibility of a Mashemeji Dervby in the semis if both AFC Leopards and Gor Mahia make it that far, a repeat of the final of the 2021 edition where K’Ogalo won on post-match penalties.The competition received a big boost on Tuesday when Mozzart Bet Kenya and the Football Kenya Federation announced a three-year sponsorship deal worth Kes. 60 million for a period of three years, a move that reflects the company’s commitment to promoting sports and supporting communities in Kenya.This year’s edition will consist of 32 teams with eleven of them being drawn from the top flight.
