South African sporting icons Benni McCarthy and Cheslin Kolbe are taking their competitive spirit beyond the football pitch and rugby field as they join global entertainment stars DJ Khaled and Burna Boy for SportyBet’s first-ever Crash Games World Championship (CGWC).
The three-week global tournament brings together six Crash Games titles and players
from across SportyBet markets, with five Sporty Group ambassadors competing in the
Championship. McCarthy and Kolbe will represent South Africa alongside DJ Khaled,
Burna Boy and Ivorian footballer Yan Diomande, while a sixth ambassador is set to be
revealed ahead of the competition.
For Mzansi fans, the Championship puts two familiar sporting figures at the centre of a
global gaming competition, bringing together sport, entertainment and competition in a
new format.
The six games featured in the Championship are Rugby Blitz, Sporty Skills, Jet Golf by
DJ Khaled, Sporty Jets by Burna Boy, Sporty Hero and LaLiga Penalty. Players will
compete for the title of CGWC World Champion, with exclusive limited-edition prizes
also up for grabs, including rewards that money cannot buy.
For McCarthy and Kolbe, the competition offers a different kind of challenge trading
their familiar sporting environments for the fast-paced world of Crash Games and
competing as part of a global field.
The Championship also brings together SportyBet’s gaming portfolio and the
international reach of Sporty Group’s talent in a format designed to create a new
experience for players across the SportyBet ecosystem.
With DJ Khaled and Burna Boy adding global star power to the line-up, and South
Africans McCarthy and Kolbe bringing a local sporting connection, the Championship is
set to create a truly international competition with a distinctly South African presence.
Further details on the Crash Games World Championship, including the sixth
ambassador, exclusive prizes and how players can take part, will be revealed soon. The
countdown to SportyBet’s first global Crash Games tournament has begun
