Kaizer Chiefs have been needing someone to put the ball into the back of the net.
GLODY LILEPO SPOTTED WITH HIS KAIZER CHIEFS JERSEY NUMBER
Soweto giants Amakhosi introduced the 27-year-old Lilepo this week. The Congolese star, who is more of a wide striker than a winger, arrived from France, where he played for Ligue 2 side Valenciennes FC. During his second training session with Kaizer Chiefs, Lilepo was seen wearing shorts with jersey number 35. The last player to wear the same number was the youngster Aden McCarthy on four occasions on the bench in the 2023/24 season.
AMAKHOSI MESSAGE TO MOROCCO
In the meantime, the Soweto giants’ Director of Marketing, Jessica Motaung, has sent a message of gratitude to Morocco after Monday’s AFCON 2025 draw.
“Kaizer Chiefs Football Club would like to extend warmest congratulations to the Kingdom of Morocco on being awarded the rights to host the headquarters of the African Club Association (ACA),” the club said. “The Royal Moroccan Football Association signed a memorandum of understanding with ACA president Hersi Said, aiming to host the headquarters of the association in the Kingdom.
“The announcement was made in Morocco, coinciding with the Africa Cup of Nations draw. The establishment of the ACA headquarters in Morocco will provide a solid foundation for the implementation of the organisation’s work.
The Kaizer Chiefs Marketing head added: “We welcome the decision to establish the ACA headquarters in Morocco. This move will undoubtedly strengthen the ACA’s presence on the continent and provide a hub for African club football development.
“We believe that hosting the ACA headquarters in Morocco is the right call, especially with the country gearing up to host the 2030 FIFA World Cup. This partnership will undoubtedly benefit African club football and provide a platform for the growth of the game on the continent,” concluded Motaung.
