Chiefs ‘delighted’
“We’re delighted to be part of this initiative,”Jessica Motaung, Kaizer Chiefs’ Marketing and Commercial Director, told the Chiefs official website.
“The Home of Legends Cup exemplifies the country’s passion for the beautiful game and the spirit of unity that defines South African football. It’s an excellent opportunity for our team to stay competitive during the break and keep our loyal supporters entertained.”
Chiefs have only two players that will be away on international duty – Rwanda goalkeeper Fiacre Ntwari and Bafana Bafana defender Rushwin Dortley. Amakhosi are hoping for their fans to come in numbers to the stadium on Saturday, as they have done all season.
‘Incredible support’
“We’ve been overwhelmed by the incredible support this season. We encourage our fans to continue showing their passion and loyalty. Their presence makes a significant difference to the team’s performance,” added Motaung.
