Kaizer Chiefs have found a competive opportunity to keep busy during the current FIFA week as Bafana Bafana take on Congo Brazzaville in AFCON 2025 Qualifiers in Gqeberha on Friday at 19:00.
CUFA CUP: KAIZER CHIEFS VS MARUMO GALLANTS
Amakhosi have confirmed the team will play in the 2024 edition of the Cufa Cup (formerly known as Macufe) in Bloemfontein. With Celtic no longer part of the top division of South African football, the local Manguang top club, Marumo Gallants, will face Kaizer Chiefs in the event.
Amakhosi’s Tebogo Potsane, who is also a Bloemfontein native, expressed delight ahead of the game.
“As someone from Bloemfontein, I am honoured to be back home to attend the launch of Cufa Cup,” Potsane told the Kaizer Chiefs website.
“We are really looking forward to coming back to Bloemfontein for a third time in 10 weeks. We played in front of capacity crowds against Young Africans on 28 July in the Toyota Cup and faced Marumo Gallants in the Betway Premiership on 14 September, and supporters did not disappoint again when they filled up the Toyota stadium once more.
“We know people of Mangaung love football, and we look forward to another sold-out crowd when we return on 13 October,” the Kaizer Chiefs winger concluded.
SABC TO BROADCAST THE MATCH
Meanwhile, SABC SPORT have announced that the match will be live on SABC 1m and SABC+ from 14:30.
