A significant sponsorship deal between Tottenham and South Africa's tourism board has been blocked by the country's lawmakers.
Spurs were set to agree a three-year partnership worth £42.5million, but the deal collapsed due to South Africa's socio-economic situation. Power blackouts and water shortages have occurred and there are concerns the proposed deal could increase tensions.
The collapse of the deal is the latest blow for Tottenham's sponsorship plans, as chair Daniel Levy is still trying to land naming rights for the club's new stadium. Despite the £1billion ground opening in April 2019, it is still known as the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
