Jurgen Klopp Returns To Cape Town For Football Fundraiser

Former Liverpool Manager Jurgen Klopp is set to make a highly anticipated visit to Cape Town in March 2025, marking a decade of his involvement with the Hout Bay United Football Community HBUFC.

Founded in 2015, HBUFC has become a vital force in the Hout Bay community, using football as a tool to inspire and uplift young people. The trust focuses not only on football training but also on holistic support, including education, mentorship, nutrition, and employability. Through its work, HBUFC has transformed lives, providing young people with opportunities to succeed both on and off the field.

HBUFC's story is one of passion, purpose, and an unshakeable belief in the power of football. Over the past ten years, the trust has nurtured young talent and built self-confidence, helping kids from local communities such as Hangberg and Imizamo Yethu pursue their dreams. From boys excelling at top academies to girls taking their first steps in competitive football, HBUFC's impact has been far-reaching.

The organisation's success is deeply rooted in its values-community, inclusivity, and opportunity. Football at HBUFC is more than just a game it's a platform for positive change, where young people are supported to become the best versions of themselves.

Jurgen Klopp, who became a devoted patron of HBUFC in 2017, has been instrumental in championing the trusts mission. Known for his passion for both football and people, Klopp's involvement with HBUFC has helped bring global attention to the cause. His heart for grassroots football and belief in its potential to change lives made him the perfect figure to help fuel HBUFC's journey.
