Teenager Siyabonga Mabena Earns Endorsement with Adidas! The Masandawana youngster has already scored off the pitch.
Mamelodi Sundowns teenage forward Siyabonga Mabena has scored an endorsement with Adidas. He is in his breakthrough season in professional football.
Siyabonga Mabena made his professional debut last month. At 16 years old, he is the youngest ever player to represent The Brazilians.
Mabena is also a South African u/17 international.
It seems as if the youngster has already caught the attention of German sportswear brand Adidas, as his technical sponsors. He posted himself with the latest Adidas X-Speed Portal boots.
Remaining Humble
The teenager has claimed that despite his newfound fame, nothing has changed in his life as he remains grounded.
“I just act normal as any other player in the team,” Mabena told the media earlier this week.
“The fact that I have been with the first team [Mamelodi Sundowns] doesn’t mean I should be big now, no. I conduct myself as I had been doing all along because I am still the same person as I was before.
“My life hasn’t really changed. Yes, certain things won’t be like before but there are no major changes to talk about.” He added.
The youngster spoke about juggling football and studies, as he aims to finish his matric at 18 years old.
“I have a lot of people who help me to strike a fine balance between studying and training. After training, I always make sure that I go to study.
“My friends also play a big role in making sure that I do my homework and things like that,” he spoke.
