Black Arrow (FC) and Chipper Partner To Highlight and Amplify Football Culture Across Africa.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: August 13, 2020 (North America and Africa)
Chipper & Black Arrow (FC) - are officially partnering to highlight and amplify football culture across Africa.
The partnership highlights how football is much more than a game, it is a common language that unites people and builds lifelong connections amongst players and fans alike. Both parties are committed to economic development on the continent, and football naturally stood out as an opportunity to collectively create impact.
Chipper, the fast and easy way to send money across town and across Africa, and Black Arrow FC, a platform dedicated to the intersection of football and black culture, seek to connect with other partners that also want to help strengthen the domestic African football industry in a sustainable and scalable manner.
The partnership kicks off with a photography series featuring professional players from Nigeria, Kenya, South African, Ghana, and Uganda who have traversed the continent to pursue their passion for football and whose stories are often overlooked. Told through the lens of local photographers, the series aims to show how playing abroad has helped these athletes build character and bring joy to local fans.
“Our mission at Chipper is to unlock global opportunities and bring Africa together, one transaction at a time. Partnering with Black Arrow provides a unique opportunity to both celebrate and support the continent’s unmatched passion for the game of football.” - Hasan Luongo - VP Growth at Chipper
“One of the biggest motivations behind our brand is that need for storytelling as it relates to football within Africa and the culture that surrounds it. Often we only hear the stories of those that get the opportunity to travel overseas to play, but we know there are so many rich football stories domestically that deserve to be told. With Chipper’s commitment to the region and co-founders being from Ghana and Uganda, the alignment to work together came quite naturally” - Aaron Dolores - Founder Black Arrow
