While the MTN8 tournament always comes with great activities to excite football fans and MTN customers, with this year’s campaign Is’khathi Sokuba Xtra, MTN wants to see how fans, participating teams and media can stay in the game even when the odds are against them.
“Football is that one sport that resonates with everyone, from the young to the old no matter the background and this speaks to the MTN Brand values.
The one key objective of our sponsorship is to bring football fans closer to their passions while enabling them opportunities to freely express themselves”, says Nomsa Chabeli, GM: Brand and Marketing, MTN SA.
Adding that: “We encourage fans and participating teams to show off how far and beyond they go for their teams, through their colourful content shared on social and digital platforms and the banters without worrying about not being connected. And in true essence bring “Is’khathi Sokuba Xtra. It’s Wafa Wafa time” to life”.
