Free State Cheetahs (Pty) Ltd has announced the renewal of its long-standing partnership with OVK for a further two years. The agricultural co-operative, a trusted name in the farming community, will continue as an official partner of the Toyota Cheetahs.

Since the partnership was first established in 2017, OVK has been a valued supporter of the team, both on and off the field. This next chapter marks a deepened commitment to shared values: hard work, community spirit, and pride in the Free State.

Rory Duncan, CEO of Free State Cheetahs (Pty) Ltd, said:
“OVK’s support has helped us grow the game of rugby in our region and stay connected with the people who make rugby in the Free State so special”.

Stefan Oberholzer, Managing Director of OVK, added:
“Our partnership with the Toyota Cheetahs is about more than just rugby; it’s about representing and uplifting the communities we both serve. We’re proud to stand behind a team that reflects our values and continues to inspire.”

The announcement comes ahead of the Toyota Cheetahs’ exciting 2025 Carling Currie Cup campaign, with fans eager to fill Toyota Stadium and back the team through another thrilling season.

OVK handed over the Toyota vehicles to two OVK ambassadors in the Toyota Cheetah team, Carl Wegner and Rewan Kruger, who will be representing OVK with pride.
