On Wednesday, SA Rugby announced a landmark four-year partnership agreement with Hyundai Automotive South Africa as the new official vehicle of South Africa’s junior national teams and the FNB Youth Week rugby tournaments.
The exciting partnership comes after FNB and Pick N Pay become frontline sponsors for the Springbok teams.
Now at the youth level, this latest deal will see Hyundai Automotive South Africa’s iconic logo appear for the first time on the playing shorts of South Africa’s Under-20 men’s in Rugby Championship U20 tournament, which kicks off in Gqeberha on Thursday.
Big boost for SA Rugby at junior level
Hyundai Automotive South Africa’s rights also extend to all other junior men’s and women’s national teams, as well as securing associate partner rights for the country’s prestigious FNB Youth Week tournaments – including the Under-16 and Under-18 events for both boys and girls.
“We are thrilled to welcome Hyundai Automotive South Africa to the SA Rugby family,” said Rian Oberholzer, CEO of SA Rugby. “This partnership is a powerful endorsement of the strength and future of South African rugby, particularly at the grassroots and developmental levels.
“Hyundai’s support will play a crucial role in helping us nurture the next generation of Springboks and grow the game across all communities.”
