Kwara United have signed a one-year shirt sponsorship deal with leading Nigerian food delivery company, Chowdeck, for the 2026/27 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) season.
The partnership was consummated today, Saturday September 12th, 2026, at the Club’s Secretariat in Ilorin, with Chowdeck unveiled as the club’s shirt sponsor.
Under the agreement, Chowdeck’s logo will feature prominently on the front of Kwara United’s jersey throughout the ongoing NPFL campaign, while the partnership will also extend to other areas of the club’s matchday and digital operations.
Speaking at the unveiling, Chowdeck’s Head of Operations, Nasir Umar, who grew up in Ilorin, described the partnership as an honour and an opportunity to reconnect with the state through his company.
“I grew up here in Ilorin and it is an honour for me to come back to the state through my company, to sponsor Kwara United for the 2026/27 season.
“We definitely look forward to furthering our relationship with the team and wish the team all the best.
“We are a Digital Company and part of what we do is to try to digitalise the space as much as we can. Outside of sponsoring the jerseys, we are also providing the opportunity for people to buy match tickets online and purchase the club jersey on our app.”
Kwara United Chairman, Kumbi Titiloye, welcomed Chowdeck into the club’s family, stressing that the partnership would go beyond shirt sponsorship.
“We are partnering with Chowdeck as our shirt sponsor and partner, and they are also going to get involved in matchday tickets and so many other things that will come around it.
“I must tell you that, due to the symbiotic relationship between Kwara United and the Commission, the Executive Chairman was able to introduce Chowdeck to Kwara United.
“We welcome Chowdeck and we hope this relationship will grow from strength to strength.”
Also speaking, Kwara State Football Association Chairman, Idris Abdullahi Musa Thuraya, described sponsorship and partnerships as vital to the growth and sustainability of football.
“FIFA encourages strong sponsorship and partnership because they are key aspects of how football should be run.
“I want to appreciate the Executive Chairman of the State Sports Commission, Mallam Bola Mogaji for bringing this to the table. It is a very good one, and I want to encourage him and other stakeholders to continue to bring this kind of partnership so that the game can continue to grow.”
Kwara State Sports Commission Chairman, Coach Bola Mogaji, reaffirmed the state government’s commitment to supporting sports development under the leadership of Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq.
“Under the leadership of Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, we will continue to do whatever we can to continue to support sports development in the state.”
