Gran Kaz Backs Kings Sports Club's Multi-Sport Aspiration
Victoria, Tuesday 23rd July 2024 - In a significant boost to Seychelles' budding sports scene, Gran Kaz has thrown its weight behind Kings Sports Club, a relatively new entrant in the sporting arena. This dynamic partnership is not only fostering cricket but also paving the way for a diverse range of sports, some of which have yet to find their footing in the Seychelles sporting landscape.
The Birth of Kings Sports Club
Kings Sports Club, a fresh face on the scene, has rapidly established itself as a force to be reckoned with. Presently, it houses two cricket teams—the Gran Kaz Kings Men's team and the recently formed Gran Kaz Kings Women's team. While cricket remains the current focus, the club has its sights set on incorporating a variety of sports, particularly those struggling for recognition and funding in Seychelles, such as kite surfing.

Diversity in Unity
What makes Kings Sports Club truly remarkable is its diverse composition. The teams comprise individuals from various backgrounds and nationalities, including Seychellois, Indians, Bangladeshis, Australians, and Sri Lankans. These individuals have made Seychelles their home, immersing themselves in the local culture and becoming an integral part of the islands' way of life.
Support from Gran Kaz and Adopt Seychelles
This innovative sports club's ambitions have been fueled by generous sponsorships from Gran Kaz and Adopt Seychelles. These funds play a crucial role in bolstering the teams, providing them with essential equipment, kits, and even prize money. The recent success of both the men's and women's cricket teams, securing spots in the finals of a prestigious tournament, saw them rewarded with gift hampers from Adopt Seychelles and prize money from Gran Kaz.
The PR and Communications Manager of Gran Kaz expressed their pride in being associated with such an innovative sports club, stating, "We are very proud to be sponsors of such a young and innovative sports club. There are many different clubs in Seychelles, but to date, I don't think we've come across any looking to incorporate a diverse number of sporting disciplines that aren't yet very popular in Seychelles."
Gratitude and Ambition
A representative of Kings Sports Club shared their vision, explaining, "The idea behind bringing these less popular sports under our umbrella is to create diversity and options for the youth looking to be more involved in physical activities, who are more interested in these more exclusive sports. There are many teams and clubs for football, basketball, volleyball, and many other popular sports, but so far, no one is offering these other sports."
The Men's and Women's Cricket teams, who achieved impressive rankings in their recent tournaments, expressed their heartfelt gratitude for the unwavering support from their sponsors. "Without their faith in us, we never could have come this far," they acknowledged. The teams are excited about the future and are determined to continue representing Seychelles on the sporting stage.
Gran Kaz's and Adopt Seychelles' commitment to Kings Sports Club showcases the importance of supporting emerging and diverse sporting ventures. Through their generosity, they are not only helping Seychelles achieve sporting excellence but also fostering unity and inclusivity within the local community.
In a nation renowned for its natural beauty, Kings Sports Club, with the backing of its sponsors, is working tirelessly to add a new layer of beauty to Seychelles – a vibrant, diverse, and dynamic sporting culture that captures the hearts of its people.
