Kaizer Chiefs legends to play in German tournament in January 2027
A Kaizer Chiefs legends side will travel to Germany for the Stadtwerke Legends Cup, which kicks off on 10 January 2027 at 2pm.
A team of Kaizer Chiefs legends is set to travel to Germany in January 2027 to take part in the Stadtwerke Legends Cup, according to iDiski Times.
Who will take part
The Amakhosi legends will be one of six participating sides. The other teams are Bayer 04 Leverkusen, Borussia Dortmund, 1. FC Köln, VfL Bochum and DSC Arminia Bielefeld.
Bielefeld confirmed the details on social media. In its statement, the club noted that Leverkusen took part in last year’s edition, while former professionals from Dortmund, Köln and Bochum will join the event for the first time.
The organisers also welcomed the South African visitors. “We’re pretty excited about our international guests from South Africa,” the statement read, adding that Kaizer Chiefs are sending “a legendary team” to the tournament.
Date and venue
The tournament starts on 10 January 2027 at 2pm. It will be played at the Seidenstickerhalle. Fixtures have not yet been released, but Bielefeld said they will be published in due course.
The statement also said supporters will again be able to attend in person.
What this means for fans
Chiefs supporters who want to follow the team should keep an eye on Bielefeld’s social media pages for the fixture list. The source does not say which former players will be in the Chiefs squad, nor does it give ticket details, so these will need to be confirmed once the organisers or the club share more information.
The report also noted that the tournament is due to start at 2pm local time in Germany, so South African viewers should check the time difference when fixtures are announced.
