Orlando Pirates have announced a new partnership with OPPO South Africa, a leading smart device brand, as their official mobile partner.
OPPO is no stranger to partnering with top international sporting brands as the company has established relationships with global football giants Barcelona and AC Milan, the International Cricket Council (ICC), and the ICC World Cup.
In a statement, Pirates said that the new partnership is an essential opportunity for OPPO SA to work hand in hand with the club “to create joint exclusive initiatives, with the aim of connecting and exciting all sports, tech, innovative and stylish South African supporters.”
“One of these initiatives to engage with the Soweto giants fanbase will be the OPPO goal of the month competition, where Pirates’ faithful supporters will be able to vote for their favourite goal scored by one of their players. A lucky winner amongst the voters will also be able to walk away with a brand new OPPO phone every playing month,” reads the statement.
Joseph Bertrand, Orlando Pirates Brand and Sponsorship manager, said: “Orlando Pirates is a Club with vast history yet very innovative and forward-thinking, some characteristics that we share with OPPO, a cutting-edge and globally acclaimed brand.
“That is why we are excited to welcome OPPO to the Pirates family, and we are convinced that we are going to be able to show value to all the Orlando Pirates stakeholders through joint resources and inventiveness.”
