Africa’s fastest man Ferdinand Omanyala is over the moon after being gifted a multi-million car by one of his main sponsors.

Africa’s fastest man Ferdinand Omanyala has added another car to his growing collection of automobiles following the affirmation of his brand deal with one of his sponsors.

Omanyala is among Kenyan athletes who have lucrative endorsement deals and one of them is CFAO Mobility who are in charge of the Toyota brand in Kenya.

The Commonwealth champion is the brand ambassador for the Toyota Hilux Double Cabin pickup known for its powerful performance, consistency and resilience which goes in line with what Omanyala is all about.

While affirming the partnership in Nairobi on Wednesday, Omanyala was handed a brand-new Toyota Hilux Double Cabin 2025 model which is valued between Ksh6 million and Ksh8.5 million.

Omanyala was given the keys to the grey car at the Toyota Kenya showroom with the automobile having a customised plate bearing the name ‘Omanyala.’

Omanyala Grateful For Toyota’s Support

“Levelled up with the new Toyota Hilux 2025 model! Grateful for the continued support @ToyotaCFAOKE,” a thrilled Omanyala posted on social media after the occasion.

Omanyala announced a four-year ambassadorial deal with CFAO Motors Kenya in December 2023 and has been popularising the brand.

The sprinter also has endorsement deals with the likes of Adidas, Aids Health Foundation, Visa and Italian tech firm Tecar among others.

Omanyala has had a topsy-savvy 2025 season when he has done well in a number of races and also fallen short in others.

The African record holder is yet to clock a sub-10 in 100m this season but he is hoping to peak at the right time with his eyes trained on the 2025 World Championships in Tokyo, Japan in September.
