Sporty Group, a global consumer internet and media company, has announced the launch of a major television commercial.
The company, which serves millions of daily active users through its technology and operations hubs across four continents, disclosed this in a statement sent to PREMIUM TIMES on Friday.
The statement signed by the company’s Vice President of Marketing Media, Elias Gallego, revealed that the commercial is set to air on television networks in the company’s key markets from Tuesday.
He said the campaign will feature Nigerian music and sports icons Burna Boy, Victor Osimhen, and Asisat Oshoala at its centre.
It also includes South African football coach Benni McCarthy and rugby union star Cheslin Kolbe, celebrating athleticism, creativity, and youth culture.

Mr Gallego stated that the commercial fuses Burna Boy’s signature Afro-fusion sound with captivating visuals, highlighting the artist’s role in promoting African cultural unity and excellence.
He noted that the advert encourages audiences to engage with the thrill of sports entertainment via SportyBet’s intuitive platform.
According to him, the television commercial marks a milestone in the strategic partnership that began when Burna Boy was named the group’s global brand ambassador.
He added that the collaboration has brought the two brands together to produce authentic, culturally resonant content that bridges sports, entertainment, music, and fashion.
Mr Gallego said: “This TV commercial represents the next step in a strong partnership between Sporty Group and African music legend Burna Boy.
