ISPS moves into Africa with Mpumalanga Black Aces

Philanthropic organisation the International Sports Promotion Society has announced a shirt sponsorship deal with South African Premier Soccer League (PSL) team Mpumalanga Black Aces.

ISPS joins Umbro, Ermelo, Toyota and Tsogo Sun on the Black Aces’ roster of primary sponsors.

ISPS founder Dr Haruhisa Handa said: “I founded ISPS in 2006 with the intention of supporting charitable causes throughout the sporting world and when I decided to move into the world of football in Africa the Black Aces stood out immediately.

“There is an undeniable power that football has in Africa to speak to the masses and make real changes. The work that Aces does with their community-based work is something we will be proud to support.”

Mpumalanga Black Aces secured a seventh-place finish in the 2013-14 PSL. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
