Standard Explains Soccer Incentives

The bank pledged to support the team this year during the Sasol tournament in South Africa and All-Africa Games qualifiers.

The Bank's Head of Corporate Affairs Thabi Letsunyane said they were attracted by the team's good performance. "The wholesale banking team had been following the progress of the Under-23 football team, and took the decision to offer the team an incentive to win. This was not a contract of sponsorship whereby there is a set time and amount of sponsorship," she explained.
