Standard Bank will be the only African corporate sponsor to the Orange Africa Cup of Nations 2010, Africa’s premier football tournament.Under the agreement, Standard Bank will be a sponsor of the AFCON event from 2010 to 2016, as well as other CAF properties that include the CAF Confederations Cup and Champions League. The decision to partner with CAF over an eight-year period was driven by Standard Bank’s growing presence as a leading emerging markets bank on the African continent.
