Bedfordview based Janine Van Wyk (JVW) Football Club has just secured a two-year sponsorship deal with headline sponsor, Carfind.co.za.
The club has been committed to providing a competitive and professional-like structure for girls over the past six years.
Lauren Duncan, JVW’s spokesperson and project manager said Carfind.co.za has joined JVW FC as their headline sponsor for the next two years.
“They are fully supportive and aligned to JVW FC’s aim and vision to take women’s football in South Africa to greater heights. As a result of the shared belief in what JVW FC stands for Carfind.co.za is extremely excited to be part of this important process,” said Duncan.
The JVW girls football development programme was founded in 2012 by South African senior women’s national team captain Janine Van Wyk. She currently plays football in the United States.
JVW FC started with just 14 players and has more than trebled in size to where they are now.
Being crowned current champions of Gauteng in the highest league for women in the country and home to six senior national team players, this elite club is destined for greatness both on and off the field.
“The mission of the club is to provide a platform for girls to achieve success in the sport and go on to be eligible for national- and professional team selections. The newly formed partnership with Carfind.co.za is key to driving this mission and aim for the club. Along with the much-needed support, the programme can continue to grow and fully focus on the development of the female player,” said Duncan.
“This is an exciting partnership and it couldn’t have come at a better time. We find ourselves constantly at crossroads trying to secure sponsorships for the women’s game and we have finally made a breakthrough.
“We can only continue moving full steam ahead and create an even better environment for our players. We are home to some of the best players in South Africa, three of whom have over 50 caps for the senior women’s national team and we are now in a position to elevate our club to the next level as we climb the ladder to become one of the top structures for women in the country,” she said.
Kevin van Deventer, Carfind.co.za marketing and insights executive, said being a proudly South African company, Carfind.co.za has over the years aligned themselves with many initiatives such as this JVW FC’s initiative that essentially assists with the growth and development of the youth.
“Given this common purpose, we are very excited and confident that our partnership with JVW FC will be a very successful one. It will see Carfind.co.za not only giving back but at the same time playing a relevant part in the development of women’s football through JVW FC’s programme.
“We would like to thank JVW FC for the opportunity to partner with them through this headline sponsorship and would like to wish them continued success going forward,” said Van Deventer.
