Kaizer Chiefs will on Wednesday travel to Port Elizabeth to honour a meeting against Jomo Cosmos and return on Saturday for their first home fixture of the season, a Soweto derby at Soccer City Complex against Soweto rivals, Moroka Swallows.

Fireworks are expected to fly as the league programme resumes following a month long break due to Africa Cup of Nations that took place in Equatorial Guinea and Gabon.

The Glamour Boys resumed training on the 16th of January this year and are hoping to come back with a vengeance in the second half of the season.

The statement was echoed by Marketing Director, Jessica Motaung; “This is a new year with new energy and we aim to be taking things to the next level this second half of the season.

“The game against our rivals at FNB Stadium in Soweto will, without a doubt, invoke memories of some of the historic clashes between the two sides including the thrilling 5-5 draw in the 80s famously known as the ‘way of life’. The Operations Team has been working hard and it is now all systems go.

“The Club has turned 42 this year and we are quite delighted to reach this milestone. We have exciting Marketing activations that are in store for the fans this year. On that note, we would like to thank all supporters for their support, including those who have written to us through our Facebook and Twitter pages making suggestions on some of the things we should do as the Club to connect with our support base. We encourage our supporters to continue attending the matches, activation and participating in our exciting competitions,” added Jessica.

The Glamour Boys will be hoping to keep their record at FNB Stadium intact this season having won all league games played at the stadium including the emphatic come back in December against Free State Stars.

Football Manager, Bobby Motaung added that the mood in the team is high and everyone is excited about the second half of the season; “We are delighted to have finalized contracts of the players during the January transfer window.

It was our priority to make sure that we retain the squad as it is and only added young, Brian Abbas Amidu.

We have a plan and we are on track with all our plans to challenge for league honours this season. This is a belief that I share with the Executive Chairman, Kaizer Motaung, Technical Team, players and everyone associated with the Club,”

Kick off for this encounter is at 18:00. Tickets are available at Computicket and Shoprite Checkers at R40 for adults and R10 for children.
