What We Do

Our Pillars

Five interconnected capabilities that cover the full lifecycle of a sports investment mandate.

Brand Project Delivery

End-to-end execution of investment mandates

Key project: Tujiamini by SportPesa, delivered across 47 counties.

Rights Acquisition & Equity

Negotiating commercial rights & equity stakes

We identify undervalued sports clubs and tournaments, negotiate commercial rights and equity positions, and apply professional management to increase their commercial worth.

Value Proposition

We find undervalued properties and build their worth.

Investment Mobilization

Raising & deploying capital into sports

We raise and deploy capital into lucrative, unexecuted sports projects — solving the funding-execution gap and ensuring that untapped properties reach professional standards of delivery.

Value Proposition

We bridge the gap between funding and execution.

Elite Player Pathways

Strategic guidance for elite athletes

We guide elite athletes and their families through the full journey to global opportunities — from global scouting and contract navigation to professional transition.

Value Proposition

We navigate complexity so athletes can focus on performance.

Sports for Development & Social Impact

Raising & managing development funding

We actively raise and manage funding in the development space, using sport as a technical tool to drive outcomes in mental health, public health, and advocacy — bridging global donors and local grassroots execution.

Value Proposition

We connect global capital to local grassroots impact.

Our Commercial Strategy

Why Black Oak Sports?

A vast majority of sports properties in our region remain unexecuted professionally due to a lack of structured funding and technical expertise. The talent exists. The properties exist. The interest exists. What is missing is the bridge.

Black Oak Sports acts as that bridge. We negotiate the acquisitions, manage the rights, and provide the "War Room" execution necessary to turn raw talent, local tournaments, and grassroots projects into world-class, profitable assets.

Tujiamini is the proof point: when a brand entrusts us with a large-scale funded mandate, we translate strategy into visible community impact across counties, regions, and disciplines. That is the credibility anchor we bring to every new project.

01

We Negotiate

Acquisitions, rights, equity stakes, and commercial partnerships.

02

We Manage

Funds, mandates, rights portfolios, and on-ground programs.

03

We Execute

War Room delivery from concept to measurable, reportable impact.

What It Looked Like On The Ground
