COSAFA has announced new sponsors ahead of the 2019 senior men’s tournament in Durban from May 25 to June 8.

The regional body announced on Tuesday that a Durban-based company, Hollywoodbets, will sponsor this year’s edition.

COSAFA President Phillip Chiyangwa says they are delighted to welcome Hollywoodbets as sponsors of their flagship competition.

“We would like to thank Hollywoodbets for the commitment they have made to the COSAFA Cup and it is yet another display of their loyalty to the people of Durban,” said Chiyangwa.

“Sponsorship is vital for any sports event and our COSAFA Cup is no different, allowing us to continue to develop top-class footballers, coaches, match officials and administrators in our region.

“We are looking forward to a hugely successful 2019 COSAFA Cup and in partnership with Hollywoodbets, seek to raise the level of Southern African football further with world-class competition.”
