Game, Set, Match! Amex Tennis Town Returns for an Action-Packed Wimbledon Celebration
From 11 to 13 of July, Tennis South Africa (TSA) and American Express (“Amex”) are bringing Amex Tennis Town back to Montecasino in Johannesburg. Tennis lovers can step into a buzzing, Wimbledon-inspired fan park, with screenings of key matches, alongside interactive experiences, which enable fans to immerse themselves in the excitement of The Championships, Wimbledon 2025. American Express is operated in South Africa through its licensee Nedbank.
Amex Tennis Town is set to transform Montecasino into a Wimbledon-inspired playground for tennis fans of all ages. From the thrill of watching matches live on a giant stadium-style screen, to testing tennis skills with interactive virtual reality challenges and coaching sessions on a full-size court – there’s something for everyone.
Guests will be able to capture unforgettable moments at themed photo booths, enjoy live DJ sets between matches and indulge in a variety of gourmet bites in the food market (including treats such as strawberries and cream). Tickets for the premium hospitality option hosted in the Amex Café will be available to American Express Card Members and non-Card Members and will offer access to a lounge setting with a curated dining menu, a dedicated hospitality team, and an outside viewing deck providing great views of the big screen.
Tickets are on sale to both American Express Card Members and non-Card Members at Howler.co.za at R220 for general access, R50 for children, and free for those under the age of two. Tickets for the Amex Café premium hospitality area are available at R5580. The proceeds from public ticket sales will go to TSA and be used to support the American Express Tennis Development Programme, which aims to build local communities and nurture tennis talent in South Africa.
Anthony Moruthane, General Manager of Tennis South Africa, shared his excitement for the event: “We are absolutely delighted to welcome back Amex Tennis Town for another unforgettable celebration of The Championships, Wimbledon. This event brings the magic of this major tennis tournament to our local fans, allowing them to experience the thrill, tradition, and excitement right here in Johannesburg.”
Briana Wilsey, Vice President and General Manager of Global Network Services EMEA at American Express, said: “American Express has a long history of supporting tennis globally and we are delighted that another year of Amex Tennis Town is returning to South Africa. We have been a long-standing partner of Wimbledon, and we are excited to give American Express Card Members and tennis fans the chance to live The Championships, Wimbledon experience in South Africa, bringing to life why tennis is better with Amex”.
