Kaizer Chiefs are staring at a potentially very busy 2025/26 season after qualifying for continental football.
Chiefs had a mixed season where they won their first trophy in 10 years, but missed out on a top eight finish.
Busy season awaits Chiefs
Missing out on a top eight finish means that Chiefs will be spared extra games in the form the MTN8. But they’re expected to travel the continent and have those extra fixtures through the CAF Confederation Cup. That potentially rigorous schedule will need the best preparations from the team who have announced their pre-season plans.
According to a post on the club’s social media platforms, Chiefs will be back in Europe for their pre-season. The club revealed that they are set to head to the Netherlands for their season’s preparations.

“South Africa

Chiefs are set to start their pre-season in the Netherlands from the third of July. They will be spending a fortnight in Europe as they end their trip on the 19th. Last time out, they were in Turkey for a similar period. Although it was their first pre-season under Nasreddine Nabi, the Tunisian joined the team with their program under way.
Will any new faces be involved?
This time around, he will be with them from the start in the Netherlands, and hope to have new signings. Chiefs have been linked with multiple players, including Feisal Salum and Jean Charles Ahoua. It remains to be seen which of the linked players will eventually join and if it will be on time. Last season, it was only Bongani Sam who had signed and joined their Turkish trip.
