MTN new Springbok sponsor

MTN has been confirmed as the new headline sponsor of the Springboks.

As revealed by SARugbymag.co.za on 26 May, the multinational mobile telecommunications company has agreed to a three-year deal with SA Rugby.

‘We’re delighted to welcome MTN as our new headline Springbok sponsor,’ said SA Rugby CEO Roux. ‘It has been a tough couple of years from a financial perspective for SA Rugby – and our challenges certainly remain – but this partnership marks the crossing of a watershed for SA Rugby.’

The new Bok jersey, without the MTN logo, has already been launched and distributed. Asics aims to have the MTN-branded jersey available for fans to purchase for the start of the Rugby Championship.
