Kano Pillars have announced a new partnership with RAFA Detergent as their official front Jersey Sponsor. The club confirmed the deal on Sunday with the statement:” OFFICIAL FRONT JERSEY SPONSOR. We are delighted to announce RAFA Detergent as our Official Front Jersey Sponsor.
“This partnership marks another important milestone in the growth of Sai Masu Gida as we welcome RAFA Detergent to the Kano Pillars family.” The deal will see the RAFA Detergent logo feature prominently on the front of Kano Pillars’ home and away jerseys for the 2025/26 NPFL season, replacing Radio France International (RFI) Hausa who were the club’s front shirt partner last season in a N100m deal.
Under the leadership of General Manager and former Nigeria international Ahmed Musa, Kano Pillars have been pushing hard to reduce dependence on state government funding by attracting private sector sponsors — a strategy that has already brought in partnerships with RFI Hausa and several Kano-based businesses. RAFA Detergent, one of the fastest-growing detergent brands in Northern Nigeria, now joins Viva Detergent’s legacy as a detergent brand to sponsor Pillars.
Aspira Nigeria’s Viva brand were Pillars’ front sponsors in the 2020/21 season. The new jerseys with the RAFA branding are expected to be unveiled before Matchday 8.
