Carling Black Label will be the official partner for the tour, proudly championing Kaizer Chiefs’ pre-season campaigns. This year, the partnership takes on a bold international dimension, not only reinforcing Carling’s commitment to the growth of South African football, but also giving the club a valuable platform to expand globally.
During the camp, members of the media will be invited to attend selected training sessions, where there will be opportunities to engage with players and members of the technical team. Moreover, they will be able to interact with a group of Chiefs supporters who will be traveling with the squad. These fans were selected through the Vodacom Tsamaya campaign, a fan engagement initiative in South Africa.
Kaizer Chiefs look forward to a successful and productive pre-season tour, confident that the experience will not only lay a strong foundation for the 2025/26 campaign but will also contribute to the strengthening of football ties between South Africa and the Netherlands.
