Cape Town Spurs have inked a long-term deal with the global sportswear brand Kappa, marking an exciting partnership aiming at keeping the club’s heritage alive.
The Urban Warriors have recently suffered a relegation setback from the Motsepe Foundation Championship to the ABC Motsepe League at the end of last season.
CT Spurs have been in relegation heartbreak for two seasons in a row after dropping from the Betway Premiership to the Championship at the end of the 2023/24 season.
The Cape Town-based side has a big task of fighting to regain promotion to the professional ranks. Spurs is one of the storied football clubs in South Africa with a proven track record of producing big players such as Steven Pienaar, Thulani Serero, and Moeneeb Josephs, among many others.
With Spurs eyeing promotion back to the NFD, they announced a partnership with Italian sports giant Kappa to provide the club with performance apparel. Spurs have joined the Soweto giants, Kaizer Chiefs, as one of the South African clubs that are in partnership with Kappa.
