Bafana Bafana have partnered with two of South Africa’s trusted personal care brands, Shield and Vaseline, in a new powerful partnership under the banner of “The Ultimate Defence.”
This collaboration marks the beginning of a long-term commitment to support the South African senior men’s national team and the nation through a shared celebration of resilience, preparation, and belief in progress – values deeply embedded in both Shield and Vaseline.
Gareth Marshall, Sponsorship Lead at Unilever Southern Africa, expressed excitement following the announcement of the collaboration on Thursday, 18 September 2025. “This partnership with Bafana Bafana represents a powerful alignment between our brands and the passion points that truly resonate with South Africans. Both Shield and Vaseline are synonymous with protection, performance, and everyday care – values that mirror the dedication and resilience exemplified by our national football team on the field,” he said.
