John Mwakio can now afford to breathe easy ahead of the new Football Kenya Federation (FKF) Division One Zone B campaign after gaming giants Mozzart Bet stepped in to address a major challenge facing his team.Download our Mozzart Sport App for more newsAs founder and team manager of Taita Queens, Mwakio was left concerned about procuring quality playing kits and footballs for the Taita Taveta-based side ahead of the new season.##NAJAVA_MECA_10101972##However, those concerns have been buried after Mozzart Bet delivered 23 full playing kits and two footballs to the team, allowing Mwakio and his players to shift their focus to preparations for the upcoming campaign.The donation was made under the firm's New Jerseys for New Champions initiative, which seeks to support grassroots football clubs by providing them with essential apparel.Taita Queens now join a growing list of women's football teams that have benefited from the initiative.Other beneficiaries this year include Embobut Saints, Green Starlets and Kewapsos Women FC, underscoring Mozzart Bet's commitment to supporting the growth of both men's and women's football at the grassroots level."We can now shift our focus to preparing for the new season without worrying about where to get playing kits. We sincerely appreciate Mozzart Bet's generous gesture and their continued commitment to the development of football in the country,” said Mwakio.Buoyed by the boost, Mwakio, who founded Taita Queens in 2021, has vowed to leave no stone unturned in his quest to guide the team to promotion to the National Super League (NSL).Last season, Taita Queens finished third in the 10-team competition, and Mwakio is confident they can mount a stronger challenge in the upcoming campaign.“Our target is to secure promotion to the second tier by the end of the new season. We have every reason to believe in ourselves even more, especially now that our hard work is being recognised,” he remarked.However, Mwakio's ambitions for the club extend beyond earning promotion to the NSL as he looks to eventually break into the top flight.He also hopes to see some of his most promising young players earn call-ups to the Harambee Starlets, while others secure professional contracts with European clubs.“Mwatate United made our county proud by featuring consistently in the men's National Super League. We want to achieve the same and eventually rise to the top tier. I have young players whom I believe have what it takes to earn national team call-ups in the future, while others have the potential to secure opportunities in Europe,” added Mwakio, who revealed that the team currently has a squad of at least 27 players.Meanwhile, team captain Emily Ngoma has reiterated the side's determination to secure promotion to the women's second tier in the upcoming campaign.“As one of the most experienced players in the team, I can confidently say that our target remains promotion this season. We also hope to become the first team from Taita Taveta to feature in the Women's Premier League (WPL) within the next two years. We are grateful to Mozzart Bet for believing in us and supporting the team ahead of the new campaign,” said the 27-year-old forward.
