The Springboks will run out against the Barbarians in Gqeberha on 20 June wearing the names of fans on their shorts.
Together with Betway, the Boks will be paying tribute to the world’s best supporters by replacing the Betway logo on the back of the shorts with the names of 23 lucky fans chosen from across South Africa.
“Springbok fans are behind every tackle, every try and every victory,” said Jason Shield, head of sponsorship at Betway Africa. “This initiative will give 23 fans a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get their names behind our Springboks and an experience they will never forget. We see this as an opportunity to pay tribute to the fans who are truly behind the Boks.”
To enter, supporters can visit www.behindeverybok.co.za, submit their details, and generate a personalised preview showing exactly what their name could look like on the Springbok shorts. Fans will then need to share their entry on social media using #BehindEveryBok to officially enter the competition.

“Springbok supporters play an important role in the team’s journey, and this initiative is a unique way to recognise the passion and support South Africans bring to the game,” said SA Rugby CEO Rian Oberholzer. “To see fans’ names carried onto the field alongside the Springboks makes this a really special moment.”
The selected winners will be joined by Betway Squad campaign captain Jean de Villiers for the ultimate Springbok experience in Gqeberha during match week.
Entries are open, and the closing date is 11 June.
