Eden Hazard will return to Stamford Bridge to play for Chelsea Legends in their charity match against Tottenham Legends on Easter weekend. The former winger will join a squad featuring iconic former teammates John Terry and Oscar for the 3 pm kick-off on Saturday 27 March.
The fixture is organised to raise funds for the Chelsea Foundation and will also support Spurs in the Community. Hazard's inclusion marks his first appearance in a Legends match since retiring from professional football in October 2023. The Belgian made 352 appearances and scored 110 goals for Chelsea between 2012 and 2019, winning two Premier League titles.
"After 16 years and more than 700 matches played, I have decided to end my career as a professional footballer," Hazard wrote upon his retirement. His return offers supporters a rare chance to see him in Chelsea colours once more.
Tickets for the event are on general sale online only. Adult tickets are priced at £35, with concessions for juniors, under-23s and seniors available at £17.50. Supporters can purchase up to 20 tickets per person, and those under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. The club confirmed no loyalty points will be awarded for this fixture.
The match provides a welcome diversion as the current Chelsea side handles a mixed start to the Premier League season. The team sits 10th in the table with seven points from five games ahead of their next league fixture, a home match against Bournemouth. Fans can check the club's upcoming fixtures and view the current standings.
Hazard's Chelsea legacy is firmly cemented, having joined from Lille for £32 million before leaving for Real Madrid in a deal that could have exceeded £150 million. The Chelsea Legends vs Tottenham Legends match kicks off at 3 pm on 27 March at Stamford Bridge.
