Lions Cricket recently announced DP World as headline partner of the men’s and women’s teams as well as the Wanderers Stadium.
As a result of the 100% acquisition of Imperial Logistics Limited (“Imperial”) by DP World Logistics FZE (‘DP World’) in March 2022, the women’s and men’s teams of Lions Cricket as well as the home of South Africa’s iconic and exclusive Tier One stadium, Wanderers Stadium has transitioned from the Imperial Brand to DP World.
Speaking on the announcement, Lions Cricket CEO Jono Leaf-Wright says that this global partnership is the continuation of greater things to come.
“We take tremendous pride in the Imperial partnership and to now have a broader global backing from DP World speaks to the pride, passion and professionalism that is Lions Cricket, day in and day out.
“As we partner with a brand that now employs in excess of 120 000 team members, we’re thrilled for the years ahead and as we transition from Imperial we’d like to assure our stakeholders, fans and players that our promise of excellence will always remain.
“We’ve witnessed the sports strategy of DP World in golf with the DP World Tour and feel truly honoured to be supported by this powerhouse brand. The DP World Lions (men and women) cricket teams and the DP World Wanderers Stadium will continue to drive excellence and be a brand loved by South Africans both on and off the field,” he concluded.
