MANZINI – Eswatini Beverages Limited has announced that Sibebe Premium Lager has been selected as an official sponsor of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The launch of the beer as an official sponsor took place on May 15, 2026 at Mavuso Pavilion 1.
Country Director Doreen Tumureebire said it was not just another corporate announcement; it was a moment of pride and, most importantly, a moment of possibility for Eswatini.
“For generations, beer and sport have gone hand in hand. Beer has always been part of social occasions, bringing people together in moments of friendship, celebration, and sporting passion,” she said.
As a leading brewer in the country, the director said they were proud to announce that their flagship brand, Sibebe Premium Lager, has been appointed as an official beer sponsor of the FIFA World Cup 2026 — a milestone that reflects the strength, ambition, and growing stature of their portfolio.

This milestone reinforces Eswatini Breweries Limited’s commitment to creating unforgettable experiences that unite people through football, celebration, and shared moments.

She said Sibebe Premium Lager was more than just a beer. It was a symbol of excellence, a celebration of craftsmanship, and a reflection of Eswatini’s resilience, pride, and ambition.
Whether people will be watching the games at home or gathering at their various fan zones and viewing venues, she said, beer remains the natural choice to enjoy responsibly as they celebrated the world’s greatest football spectacle together.
