Kaizer Chiefs have re-united with Kappa after signing a five- year-deal that will see the Italian sportswear giants become the club’s technical sponsor from the 2023/24 season.
Amakhosi’s relationship with Kappa started in 1989 and lasted until 1996.
“We are excited to team up with Kappa once again, a brand with which Kaizer Chiefs set new records and established itself as trendsetters in African football in the early 1990s.
“Kappa, like Kaizer Chiefs, is a unique brand of style and class and one of the key players in the global football kit space.
“Kappa have had great partnerships with some of the world’s leading football clubs, as well as a number of local teams over the years.
This deal is not only an acknowledgment of our past but also an exciting leap into the future for the club,” says Kaizer Chiefs marketing and commercial director, Jessica Motaung.
The new partnership follows the parting of ways between Chiefs and Nike at the end of the 2022/23 season.
“It’s important to thank Nike for the partnership since 2000. It’s uncommon for partnerships to last for over 20 years, and we are grateful for the opportunity to have enjoyed a relationship with one of the world’s leading sports brands,” adds Motaung.
