Kaizer Chiefs have returned to South Africa following their trip to Zambia, where they faced Red Arrows in the first leg of the second preliminary round of this season’s CAF Confederation Cup.

Amakhosi suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat in Ndola, leaving them needing to overturn the deficit by winning by at least two goals* in order to secure progression into the group stages of the continental competition with a decisive task on home soil this coming Friday in Durban. *(or winning on penalties should they win 1-0).


Coach Fernando Da Cruz has urged his players, Club supporters, and the wider Amakhosi family to unite behind the team for this crucial encounter. “We must come together to ensure victory and advance to the group stages,” he emphasised, highlighting the importance of a collective effort both on and off the pitch.

Tickets for the second leg clash are available through Computicket, as well as at Shoprite and Checkers outlets nationwide for R80. Suite tickets are available for R1699 and R2899, and can be purchased through the MMS via email MMS.Hospitality@durban.gov.za or phone at 031 322 3115.

The fixture is scheduled for Friday, 23 October, at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban, with kick-off at 18:00.

Amakhosi faithful are encouraged to rally behind the Glamour Boys and wear their Gold & Black colour in pursuit of more continental success on Friday.
