Why we invest
Sasol has been the pre-eminent brand behind women’s football and marginalised groups for
the past 15 years in South Africa. Our partnership with the South African Football Association
(SAFA) is fueled by a shared belief in the boundless potential of women’s football.
In 2009, we decided to shift our support towards the development of the women’s game, with the aim of
enhancing the quality of women’s football nationwide, starting from grassroots initiatives through the Sasol
League, extending all the way up to the national team.
Our goal is to empower young women, enabling them to improve their lives through the transformative power of
sports. We have witnessed many of our athletes evolve from the Sasol League, the crucible of women’s football
development, to competing at international football clubs. This speaks volumes for the impact that Sasol’s
partnership with SAFA has on women’s football in the country.
Our Goal
Our involvement in women’s football exemplifies our core purpose in action. We are not merely sponsors; we
are active participants in the development and advancement of women’s football. Over the past 15 years, we
have shared the inspiring journeys of remarkable women, who transitioned from playing in the Sasol League to
representing the nation as Banyana Banyana players.
