    Hull are set to become the first English Premier League side to play a match in Kenya.

    They will face a select side from the east African country's Premier League as part of a major sponsorship deal signed with SportPesa.

    The game will be "part of Kenya's campaign to compete in the World Cup for the first time in 2022", SportPesa chief executive Ronald Karauri said.

    Hull have signed a club record deal with the Kenyan online gaming company.

    On the club's website, Hull said the deal is a multi-million pound contract for three years and includes the company's name and logo appearing on the team shirts for the next three seasons.

    Might play during an International break - a mixture of first teamers and youth.

    Oh, just realised that's our current first team...

    Isn't Kenya in Africa?

    I thought Hull City Tigers Ltd were trying to make it big in Asia?

    Wrong continent then, although they both start and end with A.

    Presumably this'll be just after the Al Ahly game?

    They could have changed the wording over the tunnel for the photo shoot.

    Africa is shorter than Asia - so makes more sense to the Allams.

    Love how they kept closing in on the Hull FC bollox even though it's deliberately placed.

    Amateurs & ****s.

    Diame's French, he only qualifies to play for Senegal because his dad's from there.

    If you believe the 'Out of Africa' theory of human evolution then we're all African :afro:

    I'm genuinely stunned at Ehab.

    He literally has no shame or morals.
