In just a few short weeks the Kansas City Chiefs will be making the trek to Frankfurt, Germany to face the Miami Dolphins in Week 9 of the 2023 NFL season. 

The franchise is making sure that despite how far away the team is from their home stadium, Germany feels as close to home as possible. They're bringing Chiefs Kingdom to Germany with some very cool activations. 

That includes the unveiling of the brand new "ChampionShip" because Kansas City is no stranger to winning big. 

The "ChampionShip" is a 76×10 meter custom-wrapped, Chiefs-themed boat, which will help anchor the team's stay in Frankfurt Germany. The boat honors the franchise's three Super Bowl titles and will serve as the central hub of activity and entertainment during the club's time abroad. The "ChampionShip" begins its voyage in Arnhem, Netherlands, and docks on the banks of the Main River in central Frankfurt, just 250 meters from the famous Eiserner Steg (Iron Footbridge) on Wednesday, Nov. 1. 

The "ChampionShip" will be open to the public Friday, November 3, and Saturday, November 4. There will also be exclusive season ticket member events and a watch party during the Chiefs-Dolphins game. 

There will be several curated experiences that fans can take part in on the "ChampionShip" during the open-to-public hours: 

  • Their Draft Moment: Hold up a Chiefs jersey for their photo.
  • The Catch: Have their photo taken hauling in a jump-ball pass.
  • Locker Room Ready: Check out replica lockers designed like those found at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium and put on shoulder pads and helmets like they’re getting ready for the game.
  • Postgame Press Conference: Step up to the podium in front of a branded backdrop, just like they’re taking questions from the media.
  • Celebrate with the Lombardi: Just like the Chiefs did following the 2022 season, fans can get their photo taken with the club’s Super Bowl LVII Lombardi Trophy, which is making the trip from Kansas City to Frankfurt for the game.
  • The Skyline: Conclude the experience with a photo opportunity from the boat’s rooftop featuring the Frankfurt skyline.

Fans can purchase tickets to tour the "ChampionShip" during open-to-public hours and purchase tickets for the watch party by visiting www.chiefs.com/GermanyGame/ beginning at 7:00 a.m. CT on Tuesday, October 17.
