Kobo Resources Launches Limited Edition Jersey to Support Village Communities Through Kobo Cup CSR Initiative

QUEBEC CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kobo Resources Inc. (TSX.V: KRI):

KOBO CUP SUPPORTER JERSEY

Building on the success of the inaugural Kobo Cup in 2024, Kobo Resources has proudly expanded this initiative in 2025 into a full multi-village tournament. This year also featured a dynamic art workshop where young artists from Kossou, Bocabo, and Angossé designed the official jerseys their teams will wear.

We are excited to take this celebration of local talent and meaningful community partnerships even further with the launch of the exclusive “2025 Kobo Cup Supporter Jersey”. This limited-edition jersey symbolizes more than just a game; it represents Kobo’s ongoing commitment to social responsibility and direct support for the villages where they operate.

A JERSEY WITH PURPOSE

Designed with deep cultural significance, the “Supporter Jersey” proudly showcases six traditional Adinkra symbols, iconic motifs from West African heritage known for their powerful meanings and values. These symbols are thoughtfully repeated across the fabric, each representing qualities that inspire and reflect the spirit of the villages Kobo Resources supports.

Together, these symbols represent leadership, perseverance, adaptability, strength, wisdom, and community abundance. They embody the core values and spirit of the villages Kobo Resources supports, weaving a narrative of resilience, unity, and hope that investors can proudly wear as a symbol of their commitment to sustainable community development.

DIRECT IMPACT FOR VILLAGE NEEDS

All profits from the sale of the “2025 Kobo Cup Supporter Jersey” will be channeled directly into addressing urgent needs within the villages, including providing school supplies, everyday goods, and essential resources that help improve daily life. This initiative marks a direct, transparent way for investors to contribute to sustainable community development beyond traditional infrastructure projects.

KOBO’S COMMITMENT TO COMMUNITY

The Kobo Cup has evolved from a single football match into an annual multi-village tournament celebrating local talent, culture, and youth empowerment. With in-country partners like African Boyz Club and Coast to Coast Entertainment, Kobo Resources continues to foster inclusion and cultural pride while ensuring fair play and equal opportunity on the field.

“As we deepen our community engagement through the Kobo Cup and beyond, the Supporter Jersey is a unique opportunity for investors to wear their commitment to social responsibility and to help fuel meaningful change for the villages we serve,” said Edward Gosselin, CEO of Kobo Resources.
