Asante Kotoko Set to Depart for South Africa Ahead of Toyota Cup Clash Against Kaizer Chiefs

Ghanaian football powerhouse, Asante Kotoko, are set to leave the country on Tuesday as they prepare for a highly-anticipated Toyota Cup encounter against South African giants, Kaizer Chiefs.

The Porcupine Warriors will travel to Durban, where they will face the Premier Soccer League side at the iconic Moses Mabhida Stadium on Saturday, July 26, 2025.

The match is expected to rekindle the historic rivalry between the two clubs, with both teams boasting rich traditions and massive followings across the African continent. It will also serve as a key pre-season test for Kotoko, who are building up towards the new Ghana Premier League season under the guidance of their technical team.

Kotoko’s squad for the trip is expected to include a blend of experienced players and new signings, as the club aims to showcase its strength on the international stage. The technical team sees the Toyota Cup as an opportunity to assess team cohesion, fitness levels, and tactical execution against one of Africa’s most respected opponents.

Fans from both Ghana and South Africa are expected to troop to the stadium to witness what promises to be a thrilling encounter between two of Africa’s most decorated football clubs.

The trip to South Africa also marks an important commercial and cultural exchange for the club, with several off-the-pitch activities planned, including media engagements and promotional events in partnership with the organizers of the Toyota Cup.

Asante Kotoko’s journey to Durban underscores their ambitions to grow their brand beyond Ghana and solidify their place among the elite clubs on the continent.
