AI-powered photography meets sporting excellence as the South African U20 Squad “Amajita” strikes gold, winning the 2025 AFCON Final!
HONOR Technologies proudly celebrates a historical moment for South African football, as the men’s national soccer team defeated Morocco to win the u20 Afcon title after 28 years, marking a historical moment in South African Football.
The brand officially unveiled the HONOR 400 Lite at the Amajita vs Morocco Match Day experience held in Sandton on 18 May 2025.
This new release takes on the amazing success of its predecessor, the HONOR 200 Lite, which became the top-selling post-paid smartphone across all price points and ranges in July 2024.
As the exclusive technology device sponsor of Bafana Bafana, in partnership with the South Africa Football Association, (SAFA), HONOR continues to champion the development of South Africa’s rising football talent, including the national under-20 squad, Amajita.
In recognition of their outstanding performance HONOR will be awarding each player and team member with the newly launched HONOR 400 Lite Android AI Camera Button smartphone. The official handover will take place at the O.R Tambo International Airport upon the team’s return with the cup this week. The device sponsorship, which is valued at R250,000, is a celebration of their success and a reflection of HONOR’s commitment to empowering youth through accessible technology that embodies progress and possibility.

Like Amajita, the HONOR 400 Lite carries the momentum forward, offering smart AI features, sleek design and exceptional value for South Africans who want more from their phone, whether capturing moments on the pitch or in daily life.
