It seems like the sports scene of South Africa will see some unlikely crossover as football icon Benni McCarthy and rugby icon Cheslin Kolbe will participate in an entirely new kind of contest.
SportyBet has just revealed the first ever ambassadors for its upcoming Crash Games World Championship, which has attracted the likes of international entertainment stars such as DJ Khaled and Burna Boy along with Ivorian football icon Yan Diomande.
This will be a global championship that will last for three weeks and will involve six Crash Games titles. While McCarthy and Kolbe will represent South Africa in this contest, the other confirmed ambassador is Diomande and the sixth one will be revealed soon.
But for Mzansi, what is exciting to see is that these two icons will compete in a game that falls out of the realm of their expertise.
But this time around, things are quite different.
The Championship consists of Rugby Blitz, Sporty Skills, Jet Golf by DJ Khaled, Sporty Jets by Burna Boy, Sporty Hero and LaLiga Penalty. Participants will be fighting for the CGWC World Champion title with limited edition prizes also coming into play in the tournament.
And on top of that, with the participation of DJ Khaled and Burna Boy in the game, the tournament gains a lot of entertainment aspect making music, sports and gaming all one thing.
Also, for SportyBet, the championship is an opportunity to bring together its Crash Games portfolio as well as international ambassadors.
And overall, the tournament is a new challenge for McCarthy and Kolbe who will be switching their familiar sports environment to a digital tournament with the global audience watching them.
More details, including the sixth ambassador, prizes and participation information will be announced shortly.
