This will be the third consecutive year that Amsterdam stages Cheetahs “home” matches, with Rugby Netherlands again partnering to provide a world-class venue.
Cheetahs CEO Rory Duncan, said:
“It is an honour for the Toyota Cheetahs as we take our brand of rugby into the heart of Europe. We are grateful to Rugby Netherlands and the EPCR for this opportunity.
“This will be the third consecutive year that Rugby Netherlands has assisted us with a home base, and we are deeply appreciative of their ongoing support. Amsterdam provides us with a fantastic platform to connect with new supporters and expats while proudly representing the Free State and South Africa on an international stage.
“Our team is determined to be competitive and to make our mark in this prestigious competition.”
