MTN Flashback Fantasy League
Fantasy Football is one of MTN Play’s most popular services, but the cancellation of most sporting events has forced fantasy addicts into other forms of entertainment. MTN’s Flashback Fantasy Football, which uses random selections of past football matches to create a game that can still be played during the sporting lockdown.
Participants select players from squads based on random selections of matches played in past seasons. When selections are closed, the actual matches are revealed, and participants score points and win prizes as they would if the games were being played live. Customers can subscribe at www.mtnfantasyleague.com or dial *464*973# at R3.50 per day.
“We wish all of our customers a safe and peaceful Easter weekend, shared with family and friends, even if digitally. And hope that, with these services, our customers can remain close to their passions, enjoying their weekend and individual religious celebrations even whilst complying with lockdown regulations. The launch of these services is just another way we’re working on our promise of keeping our customers connected everywhere they stay,” says Jacqui ‘O Sullivan, Executive for Corporate Affairs: MTN SA.
