Former Bafana Bafana and Kaizer Chiefs star Itumeleng Khune is celebrating his 38th birthday in style – en route to the exciting Clash of the Legends soccer match in Botswana on Saturday, 21 June.
The retired goalkeeper hung up his boots last year and has ventured into a new career in construction and sports betting.
Four countries will play in the one-day tournament – South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, and Zambia. SA will take on Zambia, while Botswana will play Namibia. The winners will face off against each other in the final later in the evening.
ITUMELENG KHUNE TURNS 38!
On his social media account, Itumeleng Khune marked his 38th birthday with exciting news. The popular player revealed that he was en route to catch a flight for a match that featured many of his old soccer colleagues.
“38 Never looked this good 🎂👌 Botswana here we come”, he captioned a picture of himself and his luggage.
Khune is no doubt excited to play on the pitch again – Botswana’s Obed Itani Chilume Stadium in Francistown – this time for the Clash of the Legends competition.
The former Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper and captain is one of many living legends who will participate in the charity tournament, which will raise funds for athletes living with disabilities. Each country will select a beneficiary, which will receive proceeds on its behalf.
