The sponsorship agreement supports a key goal of the club’s board, he added, which is to diversify investments and seize available opportunities, and represents an ideal opportunity given the company’s rich and inspiring history and bright future as a hub for creativity, sports and entertainment.

Dyke added: “We hope this sponsorship showcases the harmony between New Murabba’s vision and the momentum of sports in . Together, we’re creating unforgettable experiences, enriching lives, and powering ambitions.”
