The Vodacom Challenge celebrated its 11th anniversary in 2011 with the English Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur touring South Africa and playing against two local PSL clubs, Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs.

The final between Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs failed to live up to pre-match expectations, although it did provide a fascinating battle in midfield.

The final was settled by a single spectacular goal from Musasa and Asante Kotoko became the first foreign side to lift the Vodacom Challenge trophy.

The final that pitted Kaizer Chiefs against AS Vita Club was disappointing until the dying minutes of the game when a goal from each side saw the match go to penalties.

Defending champions AS Vita and Green Buffaloes of Zambia were invited the next year and both fell at the first hurdle setting up a dream final between Pirates and Chiefs.

Tottenham Hotspur, hoping to emulate Manchester United by visiting South Africa and winning the Premier League the next season, were the international team in 2007.

The 2010 Vodacom Challenge was skipped, due to the 2010 World Cup being organised in South Africa, during the months of June and July.

English Premier League team Tottenham Hotspur announced on 15 July 2011 that they will be bringing a full-strength squad to South Africa for the 11th anniversary of the Vodacom Challenge where they will tackle Soweto giants Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs.
