THE MTN8 2015/2016 edition is set to kick-off on Tuesday, August 4, and promises to be yet another thrilling encounter for the top eight 2014/2015 Premier Soccer League (PSL) finishers, all fighting it out in the most lucrative cup competition on the African continent. The winning team is set to pocket a whopping R8 million.
The MTN8 tournament has always been synonymous with fantastic activities that excite football fans while offering MTN customers several opportunities to win big during the tournament. This year, in celebration of eight years of the Wafa Wafa tournament, the campaign will create eight instant millionaires when eight fans win R1 million each during the course of the tournament.
“It has been an amazing journey in the MTN8 Wafa Wafa tournament so far, and MTN is excited to reach this great milestone. The life changing fan experiences that the tournament create have always been overwhelming and this year we have decided to change more lives by making eight football loving MTN customers millionaires,” said Larry Annetts, chief marketing and sales officer of MTN SA.
“This year’s edition of the MTN8 will set the tone for what we hope will be an exciting 2015/16 season. As the PSL, we look forward to working closely with MTN to deliver another great tournament. Last season, the MTN8 broke a new South African record when we sold over 40 000 tickets for the MTN8 final in just over two hours. This demonstrates the appetite the market has for this competition. Every season we see thousands of football fans packing the stadiums to support their teams. The TV and radio ratings also tell us that this product is consumed by millions of people at home,” said PSL CEO Brand de Villiers.
