Oppo has become the new Official Mobile Partner of Orlando Pirates Football Club. 

Oppo said the new partnership is an important opportunity for the company to work hand in hand with the Buccaneers to create joint exclusive initiatives, with the aim of connecting and exciting all sports, tech, innovative and stylish South African supporters.

A lucky winner amongst the voters will also be able to walk away with a brand new Oppo phone every month.

Sam Zhang, CEO at Oppo South Africa said Oppo and Orlando Pirates share many values, including dedication to high performance and innovation, which resonates with fans and its customers in South Africa.

“We are looking forward to this collaboration with Orlando Pirates and changing the way football supporters see things, changing the way the game is played, changing how we do things.”

Joseph Bertrand, Orlando Pirates Brand and Sponsorship manager, said Orlando Pirates is a Club with vast history yet very innovative and forward thinking. 

“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.”

Oppo said the  partnership is part of the company’s global sponsorship strategy and further confirms the company’s strong commitment to sports and football in particular.
