Media and fan engagement

  • Selected training sessions will be open to media, offering interview opportunities with players and technical staff
  • Kaizer Chiefs will be accompanied by supporters selected through the Vodacom Tsamaya campaign, highlighting the club’s focus on fan inclusion and engagement.

Strengthening international ties

Kaizer Chiefs stated that the camp aims not just to prepare the squad physically and tactically, but also to foster football relations between South Africa and the Netherlands.

This European pre-season marks a significant step as Kaizer Chiefs look to return to winning ways.

Amakhosi finished a disappointing ninth in last season’s Betway Premiership, missing out once again on a spot in next season’s lucrative MTN8 tournament.

Do you think this tour will help Kaizer Chiefs contend for next season’s title?
