Mark Saturday 26 July 2025 in your diaries for the much-anticipated Toyota Cup clash. In this year’s iteration, the Toyota Cup heads to Durban’s Moses Mabhida Stadium for a heavyweight showdown between Kaizer Chiefs FC and Ghanaian juggernaut Asante Kotoko SC.
As such, the Toyota Cup fixture brings together two African clubs with proud legacies and passionate fanbases. The first-ever Toyota Cup took place last year (2024) between Kaizer Chiefs and Tanzanian champions Young Africans SC. Bloemfontein Stadium was sold out and showcased the enduring enthusiasm for cross-continental club clashes.
2025 TOYOTA CUP
Asante Kotoko SC is one of Africa’s most decorated clubs with 50 official trophies, including two CAF Champions League titles. Better still, the SABC is on board to televise the highly anticipated 2025 Toyota Cup to supporters all across the continent.
“We’re honoured to welcome our friends from Ghana to South African soil this month. The 2025 Toyota Cup allows Africa to unite through football and celebrate a shared legacy. We chose Durban not only because it is the manufacturing hub of Toyota South Africa, but because it’s the perfect place to write the next chapter for Kaizer Chiefs,” says the club’s Marketing and Commercial Director, Jessica Motaung.
SETTING THE STANDARD IN AFRICA
“Football is a powerful bridge between people and nations, and the Toyota Cup is a celebration of African unity. We commend Toyota South Africa and Kaizer Chiefs for setting the standard for what African football can be,” says Edmund Awuah Asafu-Adjaye, Chairman of Asante Kotoko SC.
Besides the main event, there will be a music concert starting at 10h00. Then there will be a curtain-raiser game between the Kaizer Chiefs Legends and Zulu Kingdom Legends at 12h00. You can see the likes of Doctor Khumalo, Sibusiso Zuma, Jabu Mahlangu, Delron Buckley and more on the pitch again.
GET TICKETS, WIN A CAR
Even though the 2025 Toyota Cup will be aired live and for free by the SABC, you’re going to want to secure tickets for this one. Tickets went on sale last week for R80 and are available at Shoprite, Checkers, and Usave outlets nationwide. Ticket holders can SMS their name, surname and ticket number to 48952 to stand a chance of winning a brand-new Toyota Starlet. The winner of the car will be given away live during the 2025 Toyota Cup halftime show.
