Mofokeng, who recently joined from Mamelodi Sundowns, had not yet arrived in Belgium at the time of the visit and was therefore not present. The club made clear, however, that he will receive his car along with the rest of the squad.

"CUPRA has been a main partner since 2024 and has extended its partnership with Union for another two seasons," the club stated on Instagram.
"Our first-team players and staff members will get to drive CUPRA's Formentor e-HYBRID, a perfect blend of performance and sustainable mobility."
Union SG added: "New season, new ride. Last week, our players and staff members went to the CUPRA showroom in Brussels and got their new CUPRA Formentor e-HYBRIDs, a beautiful blend of performance and sustainable mobility. Have a safe ride, boys!"
