Chief Santos Football Club (CSFC) signed an agreement on Wednesday with Consolidated Copper Corporation (CCC), a leading mining company in Namibia. 

Under the new agreement, CCC will serve as the primary sponsor for CSFC. 

Branding will be featured at match weekends on the club’s jerseys and across club materials. 

The stadium will be renamed CCC as part of the collaboration. 

This sponsorship aims to extend beyond the football field, with a focus on uplifting underprivileged youth in Tsumeb. 

It will provide match tickets and host events to foster community engagement. 

The CEO of CCC John Sisay expressed excitement about the partnership. 

He highlighted the company’s commitment to using football as a platform for positive change. 

“Chief Santos has a proud legacy of success. This partnership begins a new chapter, building on the club’s traditions and creating opportunities for the community. 

“We believe in the power of football to drive change. This is more than a sponsorship. It’s about using the game to empower young people in Tsumeb and beyond,” he added. 

Chairman of CS Lilongeni Gurney Geiseb expressed excitement about the partnership. 

“Their support extends beyond the pitch, aligning with our vision to empower youth and create a lasting impact in Tsumeb,” he said. 

This sponsorship is part of CCC’s broader commitment to sustainable community development.
