Kaizer Chiefs will not be traveling to Dubai later this month for the Soccer Expo as the event has been postponed amid fears of war in the Gulf.
The SoccerEx was to coincide with the World Youth Championships starting from March 25 to April 11. The event will now take place at an unspecified later date after Fifa's executive committee decided the political climate in the Middle East posed a threat to the safety of the players.
Teams due to take part in the tournament in Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Sharjah included the United States, England, Australia and Spain. Any war against Iraq is expected to start in the next few weeks.
The Amakhosi marketing department was to use this global event as part of the campaign to globalise the Kaizer Chiefs brand.
