Bafana Bafana agreed to a new multi-million rand three-year deal with local spice company Freddy Hirsch.

The company will be the team’s ‘shisanyama’ partner, and their products will be used at stadiums hosting international matches.

Local flavour added to Bafana Bafana

The sponsorship deal was announced via Bafana’s Twitter (X) page:

Safa president Danny Jordaan said the association wants to build a new stadium in the Northern Cape, while CEO Lydia Monyepao welcomed the new sponsorship.

Speaking to the Safa website, Monyepao said:

“This collaboration will enhance match-day experiences in stadia as well as at home or in fans’ favourite shisanyama spots and enrich our ties and cultural heritage over the next three years.”

Bafana’s appeal reached global approval recently after French footballer Antoine Griezmann replicated Siphiwe Tshabalala’s celebration after scoring for Atletico Madrid.
