Betway SA20 and leading global smart logistics and supply chain company, DP World, have announced a new strategic partnership ahead of the anticipated Season 3 starting on 9 January 2025.
This agreement will see DP World associate as the ‘Global Logistics Partner’ of the League, providing smart logistics solutions to support the efficient and successful delivery of South Africa’s premier T20 cricket league.
Partnering with DP World marks a significant milestone for Betway SA20
League Commissioner, Graeme Smith said, “We are committed to aligning with brands which share the same vision for innovation and continuous improvement as the League and their expertise will add significant value to our operations and enhance the overall competition experience.”
This collaboration is an extension of DP World’s distinguished sports partnership portfolio which includes the McLaren Formula One team, the DP World Tour, the Ryder Cup, SAIL GP and the ICC. DP World is also the Title Partner of the DP World Wanderers Stadium, the venue of the Betway SA20 Final taking place on 8 February 2025.
“DP World is transforming the world of sports through our smart logistics solutions to change what’s possible for everyone. The collaboration between DP World and SA20 is a testament to our shared vision of innovation, excellence, and community impact, and is an extension of DP World’s significant focus on cricket partnerships in South Africa and globally,” said Mohammed Akoojee, CEO & MD, sub-Saharan Africa, DP World.
“Our strategic partnership with SA20 is not only an opportunity for DP World to provide and showcase our supply chain expertise but also to connect communities through sport and sport development.”
The logistics giant also touches many young cricketers’ lives through the Beyond Boundaries Initiative, a global commitment to the global growth of cricket and the communities it serves, which will see DP World design and distribute fifty repurposed shipping containers to grassroots cricket clubs around the world, each one kitted out with much needed equipment. In the Initiative’s first year, DP World leveraged its global smart logistics network to deliver 10 containers worldwide and put 2,500 kits into the hands of aspiring cricketers. Through the Beyond Boundaries Initiative and Betway SA20’s own impact programmes, both organisations will work together to continue to develop the game for everyone. Both organisations will be working together to elevate the cricket experience on the field, and to facilitate efficient and sustainable solutions off the field on par with global best practice.
