Volkswagen: Driving the future of women’s football
Volkswagen Group Africa is proud to support the next generation of women’s football stars through our partnership with the South African Football Association (SAFA).
This partnership benefits all national women’s teams - including Banyana Banyana, Basetsana (U20), Bantwana (U17), and the U15 squad - by providing essential resources to help them succeed.
With a dedicated fleet of ten Volkswagen vehicles - including the Caddy Kombi Maxi, Crafter 50, Tiguan Allspace and T-Cross – we are ensuring safe and reliable transport for players and staff. More than just a sponsorship, this partnership is about empowering young female athletes, strengthening grassroots development, and inspiring future generations.
Together, we’re moving women’s football forward—one game, one journey, and one dream at a time.
This is not just a team.
We are daughters, sisters, mothers, students, workers. We are doctors, teachers, engineers, artists. We come from every corner of this nation, united by the beautiful game. We are you.
We are the legacy of those who paved the way, and the inspiration for those who will take the torch
We play for the roar in the stands, the shared triumph of every victory, the spirit behind every goal.
We play for you. We are ambassadors for the beautiful game, inspiring players of all backgrounds and generations to lace up their boots and chase their dreams.
We are you. We reflect the diversity and resilience of this nation. Our stories are your stories – struggles overcome, dreams pursued, triumphs celebrated. We are the embodiment of your spirit on the pitch, carrying your hopes and aspirations with every step.
Driven by the people, moved by the people’s car.
Just like Volkswagen empowers everyday people to reach their destinations, they empower our journey to reach the top.
Together, we become a force that represents the spirit and aspirations of the entire nation.
We're just getting started, and we can’t wait to take you with us.
