John Terry, a former Chelsea captain, is set to return to the club for an upcoming match against Tottenham on March 27, 2027, at Stamford Bridge (SW6). The event aims to raise funds for the Chelsea Foundation, which operates in communities across south-west London and Surrey. This foundation runs workshops supporting physical and mental health and community development.
Tickets are already available through both clubs' websites. While Terry's participation has been confirmed, Tottenham has not yet named any players for the match. In 2025, former manager Roberto Di Matteo led Chelsea in a similar event against Liverpool, hinting that another legendary figure might manage the team this time around.
Terry currently works part-time as an academy consultant at Chelsea and has expressed his ambition to become a professional football manager. He publicly criticized the club for not considering him when searching for a successor to Enzo Maresca in February.
