Kaizer Chiefs vs Asante Kotoko – What to Know About the 2025 Toyota Cup Match
Football fans are in for a continental treat as Kaizer Chiefs and Ghana’s powerhouse Asante Kotoko gear up for a blockbuster clash in the 2025 Toyota Cup. Mark your calendars for Saturday, 26 July 2025, when Durban’s iconic Moses Mabhida Stadium plays host to this African showdown. This year’s edition promises to be even bigger than last year’s, where Chiefs faced Young Africans SC in a sold-out Bloemfontein spectacle.
Celebrating African Football Legacy
The Toyota Cup continues to showcase the richness of African football by bringing together clubs steeped in tradition. Kaizer Chiefs, one of the most recognisable brands in South African sport, will face a stern test against Asante Kotoko—one of Ghana’s most successful clubs with an impressive collection of 50 major trophies, including two CAF Champions League titles.
This annual match isn’t just about football—it’s a celebration of culture, history and unity through sport. According to Kaizer Chiefs’ Marketing and Commercial Director Jessica Motaung, “This year’s Toyota Cup is about more than a match—it’s about telling African stories through football. Durban, being the home of Toyota South Africa, is the perfect setting for this historic clash.”
Voices of Unity from Both Camps
The spirit of African solidarity resonates strongly in the build-up. Edmund Awuah Asafu-Adjaye, chairman of Asante Kotoko, praised the initiative, stating: “Football continues to unite our people and our nations. The Toyota Cup is a symbol of what we can achieve when we celebrate our shared African identity.”
With SABC broadcasting the match live across the continent, millions will have the chance to tune in and witness two footballing greats collide in a festival of skill, passion, and unity.
More Than Just a Matchday
The 2025 Toyota Cup promises a day packed with entertainment and nostalgia. The excitement starts at 10:00 with a live music concert featuring top local talent. Then at 12:00, fans will be treated to a legends curtain-raiser between Kaizer Chiefs Legends and Zulu Kingdom Legends.
Expect to see household names back on the pitch, including Doctor Khumalo, Jabu Mahlangu, Delron Buckley, and Sibusiso Zuma. This nostalgic clash is sure to ignite memories while setting the stage for the main event.
How to Secure Toyota Cup Tickets and Win Big
Although fans will be able to watch the action free on SABC, attending the match in person offers more than just a seat in the stands. Tickets are affordably priced at R80 and available through Shoprite, Checkers, and Usave outlets nationwide.
And there’s an added incentive—ticket holders stand a chance to win a brand-new Toyota Starlet. To enter, fans simply need to SMS their name, surname, and ticket number to 48952. The car winner will be announced live during halftime, adding another layer of excitement to the day.
Football, Culture, and Community Unite
The 2025 Toyota Cup is shaping up to be a landmark occasion, merging top-tier football with cultural pride and entertainment. With two giants of African football meeting on local soil, and a full-day programme on offer, Durban will once again become the heartbeat of the continent.
