Hollywoodbets<\/a> has been named the new title sponsor of The Sharks,\u00a0South African Rugby Union club.<\/strong> Hollywoodbets Sponsor Sharks<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The arrangement, which began in 2019, has evolved into a title partnership, as well as stadium naming rights for the Hollywoodbets Kings Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Being a Durban-born and based company, we are massive Sharks fans. We know how much this team means to the fans and how it is an institution of our province.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through the passion and energy we put into every sponsorship, we look forward to enhancing The Sharks supporter experience, and further growing The Sharks position as one of the most recognisable rugby brands in the world.<\/a><\/p>\nsaid Devin Heffer<\/strong>, Brand and Communications Manager for Hollywoodbets. <\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Hollywoodbets\u00a0also noted that it shares many ideals with the Durban-based team, including community support and sports development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

We are nothing without our communities, and we are incredibly proud of the work we have done through our Hollywood Foundation. <\/a><\/p>\nhe added.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Notably, beginning with the 2023\/24 season, the Hollywoodbets logo will be prominently displayed on the front and back of The Sharks’ playing kits in all competitions. The betting site has also promised ‘an array of fascinating activations and engagements’ for rugby enthusiasts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

This has been extended through the sport of rugby, where we have developed the game at grassroots levels through our sponsorship of community clubs across South Africa via the Phaka Rugby Magazine Show, and the Hollywood Foundation iQhawe Week.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further to this, we have worked closely with The Sharks in their Hands of Hope campaigns, and currently sponsor six bursaries for students at the Sharks Academy.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through our title sponsorship of the Hollywoodbets Sharks, we look forward to further developing the future of South African rugby talent and working together in empowering our South African communities.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\nHeffer said. <\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Hollywoodbets hopes that the arrangement will strengthen its commitment to promoting and supporting sport in South Africa and around the world<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

The unwavering support, commitment to excellence, and investment over the last few years has been immense and we look forward to taking our valued partnership to the next level.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This strong partnership will continue to be elevated in the years to come. With both brands having an international footprint and global appeal, this evolution in our relationship is a momentous occasion for the global sporting and entertainment communities alike.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We would like to acknowledge our outgoing title sponsor, Cell C for their massive contribution to The Sharks for over a decade as title sponsor. Their support and invaluable investment through the highs and lows cannot be underestimated.<\/p>\nstated The Sharks\u2019 CEO,\u00a0Dr Eduard Coetzee<\/strong><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
