South African icons Benni McCarthy and Cheslin Kolbe are entering fresh territory, teaming up with DJ Khaled and Burna Boy for SportyBet's first-ever Crash Games World Championship (CGWC).

This three-week global tournament features six Crash Games with players from SportyBet markets worldwide. Five Sporty Group ambassadors are competing—McCarthy and Kolbe representing South Africa alongside DJ Khaled, Burna Boy, and Ivorian footballer Yan Diomande. A sixth ambassador drops before kickoff.

South African fans get to watch two homegrown sporting heroes center stage at a global gaming event mixing sport, entertainment, and competition.

The Championship includes Rugby Blitz, Sporty Skills, Jet Golf by DJ Khaled, Sporty Jets by Burna Boy, Sporty Hero, and LaLiga Penalty. Players compete for the CGWC World Champion title and exclusive limited-edition prizes—some you literally can't buy.

For McCarthy and Kolbe, this is completely different terrain. They're trading their usual sporting arenas for the high-speed world of Crash Games, going head-to-head with international competitors.

With DJ Khaled and Burna Boy bringing international star power and McCarthy and Kolbe adding that South African flavor, the Championship is shaping up to be a truly global competition with strong local roots.

More details on the sixth ambassador, exclusive prizes, and participation are coming soon. The countdown to SportyBet's first global Crash Games tournament is on.
