Bafana Bafana Official Betting Partner, 10bet, urges strong support for the squad in Cote d’ Ivoire.

10bet’s call to the nation to get behind Bafana Bafana is yielding tangible results for the national team, who recently qualified for the quarterfinals of the Africa Cup of Nations in Cote d’Ivoire 2023. 

Since partnering with the South African senior national team as the official betting partner, 10bet has been on a nationwide drive of getting South Africans to rally behind Bafana Bafana – an initiative that has been a massive morale booster for the team. 

For the first time since 2019, the team has qualified for the quarterfinals of Africa’s most prestigious cup competition, with this being highlighted by a classy 2-0 victory over recent FIFA World Cup semi-finalists, Morocco on Tuesday, 30 January. 

Sharing his views on the impressive performance displayed by the team, former Bafana Bafana player and all-round South African football icon, Doctor Khumalo who is also a proud 10bet ambassador hailed the team’s achievement – further adding that the team needs all the support that it can get from South African soccer fanatics

“This is a significant achievement for our team in what has been a very difficult competition. The standard of this year’s AFCON is at its highest and for Bafana Bafana to be amongst the eight nations out of the twenty-four to make it to this stage of the competition speaks volumes of the team’s dedication. I want to urge South Africans to continue joining 10bet in supporting the team as they need all the messages of support from us here at home.” urged Khumalo.

Sponsorship Manager at 10bet, Nick Moyo said the brand remains honoured to be playing such a role of getting the nation to rally behind the team and contribute to their recent achievement. 

“As the proud official betting partner of Bafana Bafana, 10bet has been driving several activities to enable fans and the general public at large to be part of the team’s journey during the AFCON. At 10bet we understand the magnitude of the tournament for the team and the nation at large. Not only has Bafana Bafana’s performance (during AFCON) been amazing, but even the various friendlies and World Cup qualifiers they were participating in really showcased their potential; and I think right now we are seeing this come to life and the proof points that Bafana Bafana has shown and through our shared vision which is the reason why we sponsor the team,” said Moyo.

“It’s also good to see that our passionate nation and their love for Bafana Bafana is starting to come through, purely because of the spirit of patriotism that the nation has behind our national teams, and it’s good to see this being integrated into AFCON to support and backour boys,” added Moyo.

In December, 10bet also launched ‘Edladleni ne 10bet’ – an exclusive all expenses paid at-home viewing experience which will see a lucky 10bet customer and Bafana Bafana fan win the ultimate prize of watching the final of the AFCON at the comfort of their home together with their three friends.
