Bring Your Voice to usher in the new Absa Premiership season
This season, Absa encourages fans to celebrate the wins, the
spectacular goals and energy in the various stadiums across the country through
’Bring
Your Voice’ which will be an opportunity for fans to express their Africanacity.
Africanacity is the creative expression of the new Absa brand. It is a way of
doing things that’s unique to the African continent; meeting every challenge
with tenacity, positivity and creativity.
The Group
Executive of Marketing and Corporate Affairs at Absa, Bobby Malabie said: “Our new way of doing things doesn’t only
mean a refreshed logo it will also come alive in the Absa Premiership season. Woza Nazo ‘Bring Your Voice’ is aimed at enhancing the culture of singing
that already exists in the Absa Premiership. We call on fans to continue to
celebrate each of the 16 teams, their supporters and the way they show their Africanacity through unique song and dance
at the stadium. ‘Bring Your Voice’ captures in one
short phrase the essence of South African football - the singing culture - and
we are providing the passionate Absa Premiership soccer fans with a platform
that inspires and celebrates football in a truly South African way.
With our Absa brand having recently gone through a journey
of change which includes the change of our logo, in order to align with the Absa
Premiership, we have also changed the logo of our sponsorship property, the
biggest in the continent which will be seen from the start of the new season”.
Malabie further says,
“For our partnership to remain impactful season after season, we are
intentional about bringing innovation to the biggest league on the African
continent through campaigns such as Woza Nazo ‘Bring Your Voice’. We
will also continue with the great innovations that saw us bring excitement to
the league through the Absa Premiership Woza Nazo fixture weekends and
rewarding our loyal customers and fans”.
Absa customers and
soccer fans will once again be rewarded with unique and unforgettable
experiences through the Absa Premiership. Last season saw one lucky fan, Steven
Chauke from Johannesburg become an instant millionaire through the Kick for a
Million fan competition.
The Kick for
a Million campaign is a competition that rewards fans attending the Absa
Premiership Woza Nazo fixture by giving them an
opportunity to participate in a half-time penalty kick competition to stand a
chance to win one million rand at the end of the season. “We are committed to
bringing back our life-changing Kick for a Million competition and look forward
to bringing more possibilities to life for our football loving fans,” added
Malabie.
The new
season kicks off on Saturday, 4th August and will see 2017/18 Absa
Premiership champions Mamelodi Sundowns take on Kaizer Chiefs at the Loftus stadium.
This clash will bring a spectacular start to the season as Absa will showcase
to fans what it means to ‘Bring Your Voice’ by staging a one-of-the-kind
opening ceremony for a domestic league competition.
Following
this grand start to the season, the Woza Nazo fixtures for the new season will
begin with matches that will reach fans in all corners of the country bringing
even more passion and excitement to the biggest league on the continent – now
that’s Africanacity!
