FIRST-EVER CAF CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL – 17 JULY 2020

Perhaps the biggest match in the clubs history, a maiden final in Africa. Chiefs return to the Stade Mohammed V in Morocco to take on Al Ahly.

Except, this time, they will be facing the defending champions. This was the venue where they secure their most famous win in the competition to date, defeating Wydad Casablanca 1-0 in Morocco.

Pitso Mosimane’s Al Ahly will be awaiting the Amakhosi players in Casablanca. In contrast, they have been waiting for this moment their whole lives.

A chance to add the first star in the clubs history onto their badge. Chiefs are looking to become only the third South African team ever, to win the tournament.

They have the whole nation behind them as they go in search of this historic feat. This is a match that can cement the legacies of club legends Bernard Parker, Willard Katsande and Itumeleng Khune. Every player and coach at Amakhosi will be remembered for years to come.

This is if they can conquer one more giant, the biggest yet, Mosimane’s Red Devils. History and greatness beckons for Arthur Zwane, Dillon Sheppard, Stuart Baxter and every Amakhosi player.

The club is on the brink of something special and has the firm backing from Percy Tau and the whole nation behind them.

THE CARLING BLACK LABEL CUP – 31 JULY

The Soweto Derby pits Amakhosi against the Buccaneers with bragging rights at stake.

From the streets of Soweto to just about every corner of Gauteng, banter and passion fill the hearts of each supporter. There is the added incentive of a cup to play for between these two sides who so desperately want to bring silverware back to their respective clubs.

Chiefs would like to avenge their 2019 loss to Pirates (2-0) and have to win this match because Pirates are the defending champions and they also finished comfortably above Chiefs in the league. Both sides will be fighting for their respective fans who are amongst the most passionate in the country.

Chiefs and Pirates want to return to contest for every trophy SA has to offer. A win here is vital to start their new season off on a winning note.
