“The banner was neither initiated, produced nor installed by The Match in Africa, rather by a shopping mall near the stadium.
“We welcome the excitement for the upcoming event. On the other hand, we regret that the charity event is being advertised for a commercial purpose.”
For Federer, the match is a chance to play in the homeland of his mother Lynette for the first time.
“This Match in Africa is a dream come true,” said Federer.
