The last time Sundowns had a shirt sponsor was during the 2007/08 season under the guidance of coach Gordon Igesund, when they were sponsored by MTN. Yet after the club’s contract with the mobile telecommunications company expired, the deal was not renewed.
Since then the Brazilians have been using Ubuntu-Botho SE on their shirts but snl24.com/kickoff has been reliably informed that Sundowns is currently negotiating a new shirt sponsor with a few companies, and are set to seal a new deal this season.
After contacting the club for a comment, Sundowns PRO Kabelo Mosito refused to confirm or deny the speculations.
“I have nothing really to say regarding this matter,” Mosito tells snl24.com/kickoff.
“But what I can tell you is that as a club we have never said we will not be looking for any sponsors in future. It is normal for clubs to have sponsors.”
