Kaizer Chiefs on Thursday morning announced a contract extension with Medshield Medical Scheme, which will stretch until 2026.
Chiefs had already teamed up with MedShield in 2017 when Medshield catered for the Club’s medical aid needs.
Players, technical team and staff were the beneficiaries of the arrangement, saving the Club and the individuals substantial costs which the Club will reinvest in the running of the business.
“We’re very proud to have partners who are committed to the Chiefs brand and MedShield is one of them,” Kaizer Chiefs’ Marketing and Commercial Director Jessica Motaung said during the announcement on Thursday.
“They committed to the health and wellness of our players, the health and wellness of our staff as well as the health of our supporters.
“We’re very excited to see this relationship flourish. It started out in 2017, we’ve seen it flourish as these pictures here show, even through the pandemic when a lot of our supporters had health issues.
“And most importantly MedShield provide affordable health cover for our supporters, for our staff, for our players.
“I just wanted to say thank you to MedShield for having the confidence in Chiefs, for believing in the Chiefs brand, believing in the Chiefs family.
“I encourage our supporters, our corporate partners to take this partnership with them as well. We look forward to really taking this relationship to the next level.”
