Ohh Sharks... It's Volkswagen
Volkswagen Group Africa is proud to be "Backing the Bite" as the Official Vehicle Partner of The Sharks.
Every great Shark needs a reliable ride and we've got that covered.
This partnership isn't just about handing over the keys, it's about powering big tackles, bigger ambitions and helping The Sharks stay ready to make waves.
For 75 years, Volkswagen has been building vehicles that are tough, dependable, and engineered to perform under pressure. Sound familiar?
Together, we're proving that when performance meets passion, great things happen. So here's to driving rugby forward, backing every scrum, sprint, and spectacular try.
One bite. One drive. Endless momentum.
This is not just a team.
The Sharks are an internationally supported brand, which over the two decades has evolved from a provincial rugby brand to a commercially recognised sporting brand of international acclaim.
The success of the brand is further justified through the commercial and emotional values which have seen it become one of the most famous rugby brands in the world.
"Our players are exceptional role models for the youth and often interact and engage with our fans at our post-match signing sessions."
