Gofere continues to raise the bar for African sportswear. After redefining matchday kits and launching the iconic Gofere Balls, the brand now steps into the goalkeeping arena with the launch of its latest innovation — the Chakulu Goalkeeper Gloves.
Inspired by the Aringa word “Chakulu”, meaning “a goalkeeper who is hard to beat”, this new line embodies Gofere’s core values: resilience, performance, and Pan-African pride.
🔑 Chakulu: Key Features Built for Champions
Designed with cutting-edge materials and tailored to the needs of modern goalkeepers, Chakulu gloves provide an elite-level blend of comfort, grip, and protection:
- Breathable Speedo Mesh: Keeps hands cool and dry during intense play
- Latex Grip Foam: Delivers maximum ball control in all weather conditions
- Windproof Construction: Built with a stopper layer for protection in tough climates
- Elastic Cuff Fastener: Secure fit and adjustable wrist support
- Silicon Printing: Increases longevity and enhances grip retention
- Lightweight & Flexible: Allows natural movement without sacrificing safety
With sizes ranging from #4 (kids) to #11 (professional), Chakulu caters to every goalkeeper — from grassroots players to international pros.
🇺🇬 Powered by Pros: Alonzi Nafian Legason as Brand Ambassador
To launch this product with impact, Gofere has partnered with Ugandan international goalkeeper Alonzi Nafian Legason — a standout talent for Mechal S.C. and the Uganda national team.
Alonzi’s commanding presence between the sticks and consistent excellence make him the ideal face for Chakulu. His use of the gloves in top-flight competition is a powerful endorsement of Gofere’s technical credibility and athlete-first design.
🌍 Where to Buy: Africa-Wide Distribution Begins
The gloves are now available in Gofere showrooms located in:
- Addis Ababa

And beginning September 2025, the Chakulu Goalkeeper Gloves will be available online via the official Gofere Online Shop.
