History was made on the pitch and in the tech world as HONOR Technologies marked South Africa’s stunning 2025 AFCON U20 Championship win with a game-changing gesture: R250,000 worth of brand-new HONOR 400 Lite smartphones gifted to the Amajita squad.

With a thrilling 2-1 win over Morocco, South Africa’s under-20 national team ended a 28-year wait to bring the AFCON title home — a proud moment for the country and a huge statement for the future of local football.

To honour this golden generation, HONOR unveiled the HONOR 400 Lite during an energetic match-day experience in Sandton on 18 May 2025 — a fusion of next-gen tech and youth-driven excellence.

“This launch is about more than features,” said Fred Zhou, CEO of HONOR South Africa.

“It’s about recognizing where we’ve come from, celebrating growth, and offering the tools to help South Africans see and share their world with more clarity.”

From Pitch to Pocket: Tech that Wins

HONOR’s commitment to developing South Africa’s rising talent has never been more visible. As the official technology partner of Bafana Bafana and a proud supporter of youth development via SAFA, HONOR’s recognition of Amajita reflects more than corporate goodwill — it’s a statement of belief in what’s possible when passion meets purpose.

Each player and team member will receive the new HONOR 400 Lite on their return at O.R. Tambo International Airport this week symbolic and literal gift of vision, performance, and potential.

Meet the HONOR 400 Lite: Built for Game-Changers

Taking cues from the runaway success of the HONOR 200 Lite (the top-selling post-paid smartphone in South Africa as of July 2024), the 400 Lite sets a new standard for accessible premium smartphones:

108MP Main Camera with depth sensor & pro-level portrait modes
AI Camera Button for instant capture, Google Lens access & smart editing
6.7” AMOLED Display with up to 3,500 nits brightness
5230mAh Battery with 35W fast charging
Up to 12GB Extended RAM with HONOR RAM Turbo
MediaTek Dimensity 7025 Chip with 5G multitasking
Low Blue Light + Circadian Night Mode for eye comfort
IP65 Water & Dust Resistance

Available in Velvet Black and Mars Green, the HONOR 400 Lite doesn’t just take photos — it captures legacy, ambition, and the fire of a generation on the rise.

More Than A Phone — A Movement

HONOR’s sponsorship is more than a reward — it’s an investment in storytelling, representation, and visibility. By equipping youth with tools that empower and connect, the brand continues its mission to “Go Beyond” — encouraging South Africans to dream bigger, reach further, and document every moment along the way.

As Amajita brings the cup home, their story will now be captured, shared, and immortalized — one AI-powered frame at a time.
